Council looks to make bends on Harbour Road safer for all
Parked vehicles near the bends cause a hazard for pedestrians and cyclists.
Rye county councillor Keith Glazier said: “Hopefully we can make that corner safe. If we are going to have parking there let’s make sure it is safe parking. It is a real danger.
“The issue should be resolved by the end of the month.”

Hide AdA local cyclist was killed on the Rye Harbour Road a few years ago.
A cycle path was constructed along part of the road following a public campaign but does not run the entire length of the road.
Cllr Glazier said: “We are looking again at the criteria for finishing off the cycle path. There are pots of money available here and there.
“We own quite a bit of the land but it will need some negotiation with local land owners.
“We will hopefully have a plan ready by the end of the year so we can then implement it in the next financial year.”
