Respondent: Dr Carolyn Cobbold
East Wittering/Bracklesham is a relatively inaccessible small coastal settlement with no secondary or higher education provision, few employment opportunities and no access to the railway network. Most importantly it has only one unreliable road connecting it to any settlement offering these important facilities.The A286 linking East Wittering to Chichester is frequently gridlocked throughout the year to the extent that St Richards hospital recommends its consultants not live in the village due to the unreliability of residents reaching the hospital within 30 minutes.Its small-scale low-key seaside village character is an inherent and important aspect of its attraction to tourists.
