Dear Lizzie ,

Since the redevelopment of the station plaza – some years ago now – and the re-deployment of taxis to the back of the station ( a good thing ) the following things are affecting our immediate environment.

(i) Outside our house cars drop people off in order for them to go to Brighton station . I would guess there are at least 50 – 100 drop offs per day .

(ii) Outside our house cars wait to pick people up from the station – this can be worse as they are often there for 10 + minutes and many have the engines running .

(iii) Outside our house taxis wait to pick people up or drop them for the station.

In short the area at the bottom of Guildford Road is a de – facto ” official ” drop off and pick up point for Brighton Station .

I have to ask why ? Why should we take the stations traffic? There is a massive area at the front of the station where people should and could be dropped . It’s now unused. This is also a problem for Surry Street.

Since we moved here 20 years ago we have lost our rubbish collections , recycling collections and now have 7 horrible bins 10 meters from my front door . Add to this the fact we are now the station drop off zone and it’s just so different to what is was . I was once a smart looking neighbourhood and now it’s a mess frankly.

In the 7 minutes while I have been typing this there have been 2 pickups and 1 drop off . When it gets to early evening there can be as many as 4 cars there at once .

So – are you going to help me sort this situation out ? However as I said this traffic is the stations responsibility and not the residents of Guildford Road’s responsibility .

I look forward to your thoughts .

Best Wishes

Richard and Bronwen Partridge

NB now a large white Range Rover has pulled up – it’s a pick up not a drop off .

“So last night I went to a late night burlesque featuring a dancing nipple-tassled woman in a shark outfit”. Isn’t that exactly the sort of sentence you want? I love the late night burlesque show at The Rialto. If there’s anything that the spirit of the Fringe, this […]
