Work to develop station is running behind schedule

What on earth is happening at Pool Valley Coach Station? Plans were put forward for the regeneration of the coach station and work started in early December last year, supposedly to be completed by Easter.

The builders have built new bays - apparently too small - and repaved the area between Pool Valley and East Street and that is it.

Currently the area seems to have turned into a car park, which is free due to there being no yellow lines. It is also a lorry park for the builders.

It is a building site, except there are no builders in sight.

The businesses around this area are suffering terribly.

Brighton and Hove City Council have offered a 5% discount on business rates. How very kind and generous of them considering it has become a no-through area for five months with no sign of things improving in the near future. Certainly not by the summer which is fast approaching.

Passengers for Stagecoach and National Express services who normally use Pool Valley must be fed up too - there is no shelter or other facilities at the temporary stops at Old Steine.

Would a member of the council like to respond and let the businesses and residents know when work will be completed?
