Background information
A key objective of our Cycling Strategy is to identify a network of cycle routes in East Sussex which link residential areas to locations such as schools, leisure centres and business parks.
Eastbourne Borough Council has a specific target to develop a cycling strategy and action plan for Eastbourne in 2011. These proposed routes would form part of Eastbourne's cycling strategy.
