Arundel Bypass

03/10/2025

Thankfully government have stepped back from the massive environmental severance and pollution which this bypass would have caused: but they have yet to take action against National Highways for their widespread existing pollution damage - including to our life-giving waterways. Here is an initiative to try to change that:

The bluebells in Binsted Woods, west of Arundel are well worth a visit in April

The A27 Arundel Bypass project has been scrapped by the new Labour government – and we want to hear your views on the decision.

Dr Beccy Cooper has it exactly right - a sustainable integrated approach to transport planning is necessary, right across Sussex, correctly understood as a primarily local network. National Highways are wrong to treat the A27 in isolation, and worse, to 'improve' individual sections in such a way as to add to congestion in other sections. Why do they do that? To make a case for getting more taxpayers money to throw at the next section. They see themselves as, and act as, a company that makes profit by building major roads, nothing else. It is time for change.

A newly-appointed MP said there needs to be a ‘Sussex-wide approach’ to tackling the A27 problem.

Campaigners who fought against proposals for the A27 Arundel Bypass are celebrating after the news the project had been scrapped by the new Labour government.

Fully costed? Andrew Griffith is having a laugh. Laughably poor value for money at budgeted £320m for a few minutes possible time saving, but National Highways themselves admitted their scheme could have ended up costing nearly 4 times as much. Come on Mr Griffith, time to change tack and support a more conservative proposal like the Arundel Alternative. More conservative of money, rural communities, the environment. And on rural communities - its Mr Griffith and this Arundel Bypass scheme that were proposing to wreck them. The route went through four village communities.
