In preparation for a busy autumn season in planning and highways the Friends of the South Downs and the Campaign for National Parks
undertook a review of critical planning & highways issues in the South Downs National Park. This included a visit to the possible routes for the proposed Highways England A27 by-pass. Click here for our report on this visit. The promised further consultation has now been announced:
