Nick Herbert: We must push for major upgrades on A27
Last Friday I attended a summit meeting with local authority leaders and government officials at County Hall in Chichester to discuss the A27. The route is designated as one of national significance, yet too often it resembles not so much a coastal highway as a coastal car park.
Delays caused by congestion at Chichester, Arundel and Worthing are irritating to local people. Rat-running through the South Downs harms the environment. Storrington has a serious air quality problem.
And poor transport links are one of the major reasons why coastal towns like Shoreham, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis have not prospered as they should.
