Traffic on the A27 particularly at the Portfield Roundabout is already at high density, not just in rush hour times. Gridlocks occur on a daily basis as radio traffic reports will confirm. Exiting over the A27 at Meadow Way is dangerous due to volume and speed of traffic. Closure of Oving Road lights has further added to the problem for Tangmere residents driving into Chichester.
The proposed new number of houses could add over 1,500 cars to the area crating further gridlock on the A27 and increasing traffic to village road.
A solution would be to provide a rail stop at Tangmere, improve bus routes and add cycle paths.
1) Reduce number of houses which equates to less cars on already busy roads
2) Upgrade infrastructure i.e. improve bus routes, provide cycle paths, construct railway station.
