Representation ID: 88

Received: 10/01/2019

Respondent: Dr Carolyn Cobbold

Representation Summary:

Chichester District already suffers from insufficient road capacity.CDC plans for the A27 junctions and link road will not solve the problem.Without a long term,resilient, robust solution to the A27, CDC should resist the government's housing numbers.A27 has no diversionary route in the event of congestion, accidents or roadworks.Directing local traffic off the A27onto the A286 is illogical and not a solution. Spending CIL money on improving the road infrastructure, when a dysfunctional A27 is the cause of the problem, is not justifiable.
