SoCoMMS study threatens Cissbury and Arun
The road lobby has still got a beady eye on the beautiful downland north of Cissbury Ring, despite plans for it to be included in a new National Park. For all the talk of "sustainable" transport networks, tarmacking over the countryside still seems to be number one option for the profit-seekers and the door for more road-building ("removing traffic bottlenecks") is definitely left open by the draft conclusions of the current "SoCoMMS" multi-modal study - including an insane bypass round the existing Arundel bypass and across the Arun wetlands.
You can have a chat (or a loud and aggressive rant) at the people behind this study (Halcrow Group Ltd) at an exhibition at the Ardington Hotel, Steyne Gardens, Worthing, on Thursday May 23 (12 to 6pm) and Friday and Saturday 24 and 25 (10am to 5pm).
