Table .2 – Progress on Measures to Improve Air Quality Measure No. Measure EU EU Classification and Funding Source Phase Key Reduction in Pollutant / Emission from Measure Progress to Date Estimated / Actual Completion Date Comments / Barriers to implementation 1 White Hill / Fisher Street / West street scheme (LTP) - Change of priority at Commercial Square to improve flow in Fisher Street; review traffic signals at Station Street; greater priority to pedestrians. Two phases: (a) Experimental change in junction priority (b) Formalise priority working including other works in the area Traffic UTC, Congestion management, traffic reduction East Sussex County Council Completed Completed NO2 4-6.5 ug/m3 or 9-12% red in NO2 (Fisher Street) Some air quality benefits will be achieved from the experimental scheme Completed Completed indications a reduction in NO2 2 Beddingham Crossing (LTP) - Rebuilding the Southerham and Beddingham roundabouts on the A27 outside Lewes and a new railway bridge to avoid queuing at Beddingham rail crossing. Traffic UTC, Congestion management, traffic reduction Highways Agency Completed Completed Traffic Count None Completed Completed Reduced congestion & emissions on A27 (potential increase in traffic through town likely during construction phase. Longer term better traffic flow so reduced traffic flow through Lewes. 3 Town Centre 20mph zone - Provision of 20mph area in addition to the existing 20mph Zone. Will include majority of the AQMA. Traffic Reduction of speed limits, 20mph zones East Sussex County Council Completed Completed Traffic None Completed Completed Wider Impacts: Safety, walking, cycling, congestion 4 Phoenix roundabout and Eastgate bus priority (LTP) - introduce a roundabout at the Phoenix Causeway and two-way traffic for Eastgate Street; create a bus priority lane and introduce pedestrian and friendly features. Traffic Strategic highway improvements, Re-prioritising road away from cars, inc Access management, Selective vehicle priority, bus priority, high vehicle occupancy lane East Sussex County Council & South Downs National Park Yes Long Term S.106 Linked Traffic Count None Scheme funding was reliant on large redevelopment and associated s106 monies. Development proposal shelved. Now in communication with new developer considering shared space and two way junction for Waitrose site Unknown Any reduction could be offset by increased traffic generated from Phoenix development. Project is a development lead opportunity.
