Arun improvements

COUNCILLOR Mrs Brown, leader of Arun District Council, and her councillors, have always steadfastly refused to link the district's housing requirements with improvements to the A27 at Arundel.

Transport minister Phillip Hammond made it clear to the recent delegation from Sussex that, although there was no funding available for an Arundel bypass, if it was possible to get developer contributions the government would be more willing to look at doing something.

This is public confirmation that Arun’s policy has failed.

In fact, it is becoming increasingly clear that Arun’s approach has been detrimental to economic progress, not only in Arun, but across Sussex and for many years.
