The strategy says that with the right investment in our region’s transport network the South East’s economy will more than double over the next thirty years – from £183bn to between £450bn and £500bn per year – creating an additional 500,000 jobs, boosting quality of life and access to opportunities and helping cut the South East’s carbon emissions to net-zero.
However, together with other cycle groups in the region, Cycle Lewes has serious concerns about the document as TfSE predicts rise in car ownership and reduction in walking and cycling.
