2019: the Arundel Bypass controversy
At the heart of the A27 Arundel Bypass controversy are two key strategic issues for us and for future generations:
- demands for energy-consumptive and polluting car mobility, versus
- the need to protect an integrated sustainable infrastructure of diverse natural habitats and rural community life.
The special qualities of the South Downs National Park, especially in the Binsted area, are regarded by many as too precious to sacrifice for a 5-12 minute average journey time improvement.
