I'm fairly often in Lewes (my parents live there) and I'm always particularly annoyed by the 'pedestrianised' Cliffe High street which is generally full of cars parked on what looks like a pavement but appears to be mostly parking for the antique shops, betting shop, etc. the road is supposedly access only, but as there's no enforcement people just drive along it anyway. Frequently see people having to manoveure pushchairs round parked cars into the path of cars that shouldn't actually be driving down there.
Second most infuriating thing is the narrow overgrown path alongside the A26 out of town - main route to the industrial estate, etc, but it's horrible to walk or cycle along and needs a proper pedestrian/bike crossing to the industrial estate.
Lewes has always suffered from being surrounded by rabidly Tory small villages/countryside.
The cycle path to Ringmer is quite good at least. Though getting onto it is less so.
I usually just ride offroad when I'm visiting.
I'll catch up on latest cycle gossip when i'm next down there. I think my Dad said some slow progress was being made with Egrets way, etc. I believe it's mostly the fault of that farmer with the land in the middle.
