There is limited emphasis on an integrated public transport system which is essential to avoid congestion and pollution. Promises to 'work with' bus and rail providers does not constitute a policy. The upgrades to the Fishbourne roundabout will not rectify the congestion currently. In fact it will be made worse by the planned link Road to Birdham. The traffic from an additional 2250 homes travelling east will severely impact the traffic flow from commuters and beach traffic. The Impact on the A259 will be further worsened by the lack of planned slip roads between Emsworth and Fishbourne .deterioration in air quality.
