Keep us involved over A27! BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk CAMPAIGNERS fighting for a better A27 have expressed their disappointment at the progress to improve the congested road. Adrian Moss was among those expressing his anger as he wrote an open letter to Cllr Tony Dignum, leader
CHICHESTER
of Chichester District Council, who surprisingly announced at last week's Build a Better A27 meeting that an informal meeting between councillors had led to a decision about potential development. It comes as Highways England announced that a final deadline for the £250m set aside to improve the work will be at the end of September. Adrian Moss said: "I was appalled
