This "kicks the can down the road". RIS3 funding remains most uncertain as RIS2 funding was rejected by CDC/WSCC and the A27 at Chichester remains a pipeline project.
Evidence that all funding avenues have been explored to enable a holistic solution for A27 junction improvements to be implemented is unclear. In particular is there funding available via the Major Roads Network package? This is presumably available for the A259 Bognor Road junction? Before CDC/ WSCC jeopardised access to MRN funds by removing the A286 south on unproven grounds this would have facilitated the required Stockbridge Link Road .
CDC in collaboration with WSCC and National Highways need to have a convincing plan that the A27 junction upgrade cannot be funded in its entirety
