About this event
Our theme for the day is: ‘Does new housing development have to mean more traffic and more roads? Are there other options?’
We’ll hear from Lisa Hopkinson of Transport for Quality of Life, and other speakers yet to be announced. We’ll take part in discussion workshops and get the opportunity to network with groups working on sustainable transport across the south coast.
Please arrive at 1pm to give time to settle in. Lunch will be provided. There will be vegetarian and vegan options. Other dietary requirements can be catered for if enough notice is given.
Please share this event by forwarding this email and sharing our posts on social media.

“Highways England (now National Highways) have a master plan for a South of London Outer Orbital … AKA the A/M27 … current manifestations include the many years of work on the M27 8 lane smart motorway and the Arundel Grey Route Bypass (many current projects through Lewes eastwards. One cited driver is the planned expansion of Gatwick Airport with Sat Nav directing traffic away from the gridlocked M25.
We cannot go on building new roads – it induces more traffic, and the environmental destruction and £costs are too high. There are other options … Please support:”
Dear Phillip, the South Downs Network agree that the blinkered thinking of a ‘roads only’ transport strategy is not going to cut congestion, cut pollution and cut emissions. Come to the SCATE Autumn Gathering in Arundel this Saturday to find out more
