I know for a fact that they have not followed the proper protocol in the planning of the scheme. The best thing to do with the road is to now limit vehicular access to busses and emergency vehicles.<br />As far as people's playing football, this is lovely to see but I have consistently had kids kicking footballs against my wooden fence and footballs in my garden which they think they have the right to jump over the fence to retrieve even though I am in the garden!.<br />The narrow road will cause problems for the emergency services as they use this road very frequently to access the city from all directions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1667101346630865250.post-74660759354445806942012-03-20T23:41:48.526+00:002012-03-20T23:41:48.526+00:00It must be recognised that all the traffic which u...It must be recognised that all the traffic which usually uses the A270 Old Shoreham Road, hasn't just disappeared into thin air at the whim of the green Party, it has been displaced.

Once the road re opens, there will then be the additional impediment of the increased congestion compared to before.Brighton Road Usernoreply@blogger.com
