Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The Chi A27 bypass is well over capacity today, before CDC build another ? 15000 houses and Arun build another 15000. Spending millions on tinkering with the junctions at enormous cost will be futile. It would be better to put the money towards the ONLY sensible solution, a nothern bypass.

Change suggested by respondent:

N/A

Full text:

With the A27 and all approach roads in the vicinity of Chichester at near standstill both ways for many hours each day, it is ridiculous to suggest that it is near its design capacity. I am appalled that you are considering tinkering with roundabouts on the Chi bypass at the cost of many tens of millions. There are few vaguely intelligent people who don't understand that the ONLY way to overcome the worst problem facing residents of Chichester and all residential areas south of it is to build a new bypass to the NORTH., overcoming any resistance from a very small proportion of local residents/property owners.
It would be very much more sensible to ringfence the funds porposed and offer them uo to Highways England for that nothern bypass.
The proposed housing developments in thr Chi district area are horrendous. I wonder if the equally horrendouse plans for Arun. which are a fait accompli have been factored into the dreadful congestion that exists today.
