Respondent: Mrs Claire Stratton

Representation Summary:

4.98 (junction improvements) will not resolve the issues of the A27.

Full text:

With reference to 4.98 This high level extraction is a rerun of Option 3 of the failed Highways England (HE) consultation and none of it will resolve the issues during rush hour and adverse circumstances such as beach traffic. Nor for that matter does it offer a strategic alternative route in the event of road closure. The problems of the A27 and its proximity to the city are the issue that currently exist. Nothing is or will be done to mitigate these within the adopted plan or this proposed revised plan. This plan does not integrate with the mitigated Northern route that we have all campaigned for. We must (as described in planning legislation) plan for an integrated solution which addresses the immediate, and future transport requirements. This policy of tinkering with the junctions will not resolve the issues of the A27. The council must integrate with HE and deliver a new strategic route and use the SIL and 106 money to provide our local integrated transport plan utilising the old A27. Furthermore if this plan where considered it would be unaffordable and wasteful of CIL and 106 money
