[Brighton] A23 Easter Weekend

[Silverhatch]

Following on from the holiday homes thread, what sort of temptation is Brighton going to be when the sun is out at the weekend?

The Easter A23 is particularly packed southbound even when the weather is iffy. Given that the city is currently keeping confirmed cases below 200 and the RSCH is coping, it'd be interesting to know what the council/Sussex Police have in mind to deter visitors from the London-Brighton corridor. Even the local populace will have to show even greater constraint from heading en-masse to the beach or downs.

Snipers on bridges with ANPR to detect anybody with a car registered outside of Sussex?

Hope it’s not too bad I was hoping to go out for a run on it as part of my exercise allocation

The old bill were pulling people over into the lay-by by the Shell garage as you go onto Shoreham beach a couple of weekends ago. probably do the same again this weekend m

Personally wouldn't dream of going into Brighton on any Bank Holiday.

Under normal circumstances there are loads of things to do locally, under current circumstances will chill in my garden with a Beer or two.

I'm sorry for your family's loss.

Was on my way to France the day after the French lockdown, decided I should probably stay here, could be for a while as I think they are about to extend the lockdown

They don’t feck around either, the police are all carrying guns in their enforcement.

Born and bred inside the pylons so completely understand your sentiment. Think most Brightonians know where to go to avoid the influx from outside the county/London at bank holidays and summer weekends. It's just that we are not dealing with normal times. With pubs/clubs and cafes being shut perhaps that'll be another deterrent to the main one of Stay Where The **** You Are (however uncomfortable that may be).

Will just be the drug dealers on the A23, railway and mopeds. Easy pickings for the Police.

Will that be registered as a Covid-19 death

Perhaps they'll only target people coming from north of the county?

The problem Brighton has is with all the different London-Brighton events, the cycle ride, the Mini Rally, the veteran car event or the bikers or the Mods...basically everyone piles down to the seafront to just look at each other then go home, carnage.

As do the Douanes , they like their shooters too.

I usually use the cycle track alongside, might venture on the the carriageway if it'ts quiet (Northbound side will probably be OK)

The tweet would’ve ended sweetly with “Motorbike sent for crushing”.

Rider banned from ever riding a motorcycle again.

I would rather the motorbike be sold and the money given to the NHS.

I suspect that Brighton police won’t go to the lengths that Bowness police did - they went round and inspected all B&Bs to track down people looking to spend the bank holiday on the Lakes. Good on ‘em.
