We support every effort to improve air quality. Include Ultra Low Emission Zones. Use of car pooling.
Air quality will be reduced by the increased volume of traffic on the A27 before any upgrades can be implemented because engine idling will be increased.
The siting of 2000 new homes along the A259 corridor and the increase in traffic will impact in air quality. This cannot be mitigated. It will deter those who wish to walk or cycle if they are breathing in fumes from cars. The only way this policy can be achieved is if there is a decrease in cars using our roads. And without frequent bus and train services at affordable levels of cost, this will not happen.
Reduce the housing numbers from 10,350.
