Stop the Arundel Bypass - Save Arundel's Countryside

The proposed bypass would destroy a beautiful village. It must be no.

any option that destroys Binsted would be insane!

Binsted should be protected

I am truly surprised that the Binsted route is even on the agenda.

Binsted is unique. An unspoilt corner of Sussex, a precious place to all who know it, We need these quiet places in our busy lives.

Binsted should be protected - what's the point of a National Park if we can't protect our wonderful villages?

Binsted is simply too important to be ruined by a bypass.

I live in Ferring, 7 miles from Arundel. By public transport that journey takes nearly an hour by bus or an hour and a quarter by train. It is quicker to cycle, but the cycling infrastructure is piecemeal and involves dangerous junctions and road crossings. We must have viable alternatives to the car for local journeys. Throwing £millions at the A27 simply makes car journeys more attractive and locks in high levels of carbon emissions and lethal levels of air pollution.

We must protect this wonderful and important part of local environment.

My business will be harmed as a result of this proposal as I teach nature based activities in the woodland affected.

I believe that this bypass can be done without destroying the village of Binstead. You need to find another way.

I have a travel business based in Goring. I have said in the local paper and elsewhere that my business recruits staff to come to live in Sussex because it’s a nice place to live, not to get to Chichester 5 minutes quicker. We cannot compete with Wolverhampton for motorways but we can for water-meadows and views. Continuous road development is not economically good for West Sussex.

There is no way I would agree to this happening .

It's a timeless piece of rural West Sussex which should be preserved

Living with the daily traffic congestion, daily arguments, road rage, huge arctic lorries thundering down our small road, shaking our homes. Playing 'traffic cop' on a regular basis, directing a build up of traffic up Kirdford Road, when traffic has come to a 'stand off', traffic going into Arundel from Ford & traffic coming out of Arundel up Ford Road, head on, no-one able to move. Sunday mornings being woken up by swearing, people angry getting out of their cars shouting, stuck in this bottle neck of Ford Road (due to Sunday car boot at Ford). Our road and drains are collapsing due to the volume of heavy vehicles, the foundations of our Victorian homes are shaking. The story of the 'Bypass' has been going on since the 1970's ...... surely it's time to move forward & finally have this long standing issue sorted. Thank you

Please consider other options rather than destroying a village people's lives and beautiful countryside. ..

I moved to binsted 6 years ago because of the wonderful peaceful atmosphere

Protect the the woodlands

Long overdue

Unless and until roads use is charged at an economic price at point if use, with the abolition of fuel duty and vehicle excise duty, increases of road capacity just stimulates further traffic growth creating more congestion at traffic origins and destinations, suppressing economic growth in those communities.. In this case Chichester and Worthing. Once charging for road use is economic, normal laws of supply and demand kick in, roads can be build sustainability financially, economically and environmentally which helps the the economy to thrive.
