IF IKEA really wants to come to Sussex, it should be looking in the Eastbourne area.
There are good road links and large retail parks already in place, and it is not too far from Brighton.
Why they should look at Hollingbury, I can’t imagine.
Carden Avenue is often blocked with shoppers going to Asda and the A27 turn-off is blocked in both directions with heavy traffic on most days and at weekends.
There’s also the newfootball stadium at Falmer to think about and Brighton and Hove City Council appears to want to ban car usage instead of encouraging visitors.
Go on Ikea, have a look at Eastbourne.
