**Proposal for Improved Urban Connectivity in Eastbourne**

This proposal aims to enhance transportation links between Eastbourne town centre and urban areas on its outskirts, particularly those lacking direct access to a railway station. Key areas to be connected include:

1. **Langney Shopping Centre**

2. **Langney Point**

3. **District General Hospital (DGH)**

 

Key Objectives:

1.  **Enhanced Accessibility**:

• Provide direct links between these areas and the town centre.
• Improve connectivity for areas currently underserved by rail infrastructure.

 

2.  **Reduced Travel Times**:

• Offer a quicker alternative to buses or cars, reducing congestion and improving commuter experience.

 

3.  **Sustainability**:

• Encourage public transport use as a greener alternative to private vehicles.

 

Proposed Solutions: 

• Develop a light rail or tram system linking key locations.
• Upgrade bus services with dedicated lanes for faster travel times.
• Introduce park-and-ride facilities near Langney Shopping Centre to reduce town centre congestion.

Key Statistics:

**Population**: Approximately 102,000 residents in Eastbourne.

**Public Transport Coverage**: 94% of the workforce within a 15-minute public transport journey.

**Businesses**: 3,870 businesses in Eastbourne.

By addressing these aspects, this initiative can transform urban mobility in Eastbourne, benefiting residents and supporting sustainable growth.
