Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

The A27 Southerham to Beddingham Improvement is currently under construction between Southerham and Beddingham roundabouts south east of Lewes in East Sussex and is scheduled to be completed in Summer 2008. The section of A27 between Southerham and Beddingham roundabouts is being improved to provide two lanes westbound and one lane eastbound although remains a single carriageway. It is necessary on safety grounds to ban certain movements to and from the trunk road between Southerham roundabout to a point approximately 180 metres east of Beddingham roundabout both from existing highways and from some private means of access. Islands are provided to separate the eastbound and westbound lanes opposite Southerham Lane, the Travellers Site operated by East Sussex County Council, Coriecollies Kennels and Ranscombe Lane to prevent banned turning movements. This Order also bans on safety grounds, U-turn movements at either ends of these islands. A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
