Battle pedestrian and traffic improvements

We asked for your comments on our proposals for pedestrian and traffic improvements in Battle. The proposals include improvements to:

  • pedestrian crossing facilities in the High Street
  • pedestrian and disabled access from the east of Battle
  • access to Battle train station for all transport users.

A review of the transport of freight on roads through Battle has also been carried out. The results can be downloaded, below.

These improvements were identified as part of the Battle Local Area Transport Strategy (LATS).

Consultation and results

The zebra crossing was completed in May 2010 and a new traffic regulation order for parking and loading is now in place.

The plans were displayed at The Battle Memorial Hall in October 2007 and are available to download below, along with the consultation report. The closing date for comments was Wednesday 31 October 2007.

The scheme designs were approved by the Lead Member for Transport and Environment on 17 December 2007.
