Principal causes of A27 congestion are local traffic movements from and to an inadequate local highway network, made worse by poorly integrated new developments, and conflicted priorities between through and crossing traffic.
The solution is not a very costly “by-pass” of limited economic or environmental benefit. Past by-pass proposals failed to correctly assess the true economic cost of options promoted, the cost and benefits of tackling the issues at a local level of on-line improvements, lack of co-ordinated improvements in the local highway network and a failure to engage appropriately and positively to solve a common problem.
Neither the local plan nor its strategies should be based on any A27 by-pass premise and should not make provision for any A27 by-pass proposal.
