Progress on road revamp hopes for A27 and A24

LONG-awaited improvements to the A27 are a step closer following a positive meeting between county council cabinet member Tex Pemberton, Arundel and South Downs MP Nick Herbert and Roads Minister Tom Harris last week. Representatives from the highways agency were also present.

Cllr Pemberton said: "The congestion on the A27 is hampering business growth, pollution is affecting our communities and the traffic diverting through rural areas is also causing serious problems.

"We have moved significantly closer to getting work started at Chichester, and have made progress on new proposals for both Arundel and between Worthing and Lancing."
