Road Politics: Great minds....

Why I'm grumpy

It's all being done behind closed doors. Who selected the Reference Group, and who gave them £3m to spend on their case ? All previous studies said a dual carriageway was poor value for money, saving only 4 to 6 minutes on journey time. Nowhere can I find work on improving public transport to ease pressure on the existing road. Southern Rail have been allowed to cut services - and average journey time Lewes to Eastbourne is now 24 minutes, not the 20 minutes claimed on roadsigns.

Highways England won't share the new economic case, maps of possible routes and environmental assessments, saying they need "safe space away from public scrutiny to conclude their work."

All in all, local residents have no obvious voice in this process.
