The man behind a controversial new road scheme will be answering your questions today.

East Sussex County Council said this week that modifications to traffic lights on the A259 coast road have led to improvements in journey times.

The scheme, opened last month, was expected to cut rush-hour bus trips.

But new traffic lights and a three-mile bus lane in South Coast Road between Ovingdean and Telscombe Cliffs have been blamed for traffic chaos.

Matthew Lock, East Sussex’s cabinet member for transport, will say what he is doing to improve the situation as part of the Friday Inquisition.

Earlier this week, a spokeswoman for the council said: “There have been a few problems recently. Steps have been taken to ease the congestion and they are already working.”

Coun Lock will respond to your queries live online.
