Petition
3.2 Patcham Court Farm
Fight the proposed Royal Mail delivery office in Vale Avenue
The Royal Mail and the Council want to relocate two delivery offices based in Brighton and Hove to Patcham Court Farm.
We are against this for 8 reasons:
1. Entrance from Vale Avenue
2. Huge rise in 24-hour traffic
3. Huge rise in HGV lorries
4. Huge rise in on-road parking
5. Huge rise in traffic congestion
6. Huge rise in pollution
7. Likely to be insufficient on-site parking
8. No on-site customer service
Please sign our petition below to stop this deal between the Council and the Royal Mail.
3.2 The petition was presented by Cllr Meadows and had been signed by 378 people.
