East Sussex County Council recently conducted a public consultation on alterations to the bus routes it subsidises in the county.
The council said supported bus services which operate during peak hours would be largely unchanged and the vast majority of children travelling to their nearest school would be unaffected.
The Friends of Lewes submitted a response to the consultation during September 2014.

The East Sussex County Council solicited views about various schemes proposed under the banner ‘Lewes Steps Forward’ which are intended to improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists in the town.
In June 2012 the County Council was awarded £3.7 million from the Government’s Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF). This funding is being used to deliver a programme of local transport measures across Lewes, Eastbourne and the Newhaven area; the end date of the programme is March 2015.
The County Council has developed a number of proposals to improve conditions in Lewes with some of this funding, and views were sought to help decide how the proposals will be taken forward.
