Newly elected Silverhill councillor Lucian Fernando took exception to a recent decision by East Sussex County Council to not install vital safety improvements along Alma Terrance. The road feeds into the A21 and there is low visibility making turns onto the thoroughfare, making for an extremely dangerous situation. After expressing his concerns to officers at East Sussex County Council, Councillor Fernando was told that the suggested improvements, namely a visibility mirror opposite the street, was unnecessary because of the lack of a history of collisions at the intersection
Councillor Fernando said
“My constituents are gravely concerned about the safety situation on Alma Terrance. The limited visibility at this intersection is an accident waiting to happen; I’m saddened that County officers do not share this view. We should not wait until someone is hurt or, God forbid, killed before we take action at such a precarious patch of road. I urge County officers to reconsider their decision and to install a safety mirror on Alma Terrance”
