Safer, Better Streets - Surrenden Road / Surrenden Holt and Varndean College entrance

We’re looking to improve the pedestrian crossing facilities on Surrenden Road (north of Surrenden Holt) and outside the Varndean College vehicle entrance to make the crossings safer for all users.

Every year we assess requests for safety improvements all over the city, using our 'Safer, Better Streets’ assessment process.

The proposed improvements on Surrenden Road / Surrenden Holt include:

  • realigning and improving the existing informal pedestrian crossing
  • widening the pavements to shorten the crossing distances
  • upgrading the bus stop with accessible kerbs
  • installing dropped kerbs and tactile (bumpy pavement)

  • removing the turning space to create a more pedestrian friendly area
  • installing a new cycle stands and cycle share hub

TRO (final chance to comment)

1 June 2026 - 27 June 2026

The Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) survey is the final chance to comment before changes to the road layout are made. TROs are the legal documents behind the rules of the road. They allow us to enforce traffic and parking restrictions.

We advertise proposals for new restrictions via a public notice. You can comment on the proposals during a 21-day period on our Traffic Regulation Order webpage.

If required, the council Cabinet member for Transport, Parking and Public Realm will then consider objections and comments of support. The Cabinet member will decide if the proposals should go ahead as they are, with changes, or not at all.

If the proposals are approved, the scheme will then proceed to construction.
