Norman Baker, MP for Lewes, is right about the disruption caused by the swing bridge in Newhaven.
However, the answer does not lie with the installation of warning signs on the outskirts of Newhaven to detail daily bridge openings.
Newhaven suffers badly from traffic. Surely now would be the right time to build a bypass? Driving around the ring road in Newhaven can be extremely difficult and sometimes dangerous.
There are frequent, unreported accidents which are really the result of too much traffic trying to filter from one lane to another.
Newhaven suffers badly from its transport infrastructure. We have three railway stations without car-parking facilities, a ring road with 17 entrances and exits but only one set of traffic lights and no traffic-calming measures at all - no speed cameras and no yellow box-junctions.
The quantity of traffic that circulates around the town is more than should be tolerated and it is time our MP called for greater measures than advice about possible traffic congestion.
