BIG guns from environmental groups presented a united front against the Hastings to Bexhill link road on Wednesday.

Top representatives from Friends of the Earth, the Campaign for the Preservation of Rural England (CPRE), the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the Woodland Trust and Transport 2000 marched along a stretch of the proposed route near Crowhurst to show their opposition to the scheme, which would run from Queensway to London Road in Bexhill.

These same groups were the main opponents of the Hastings Western Bypass and convinced the government to reject the plan in 2001.
