After SELEP approved a further business case in February 2019, £3m was allocated towards the completion of Phase 2a (Terminus Road: Bankers Corner, Bolton Road, Langney Road).

Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders (ETROs) and Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) will be needed for the scheme’s operation, with public consultations held before any permanent changes.
