[Albion] Best solutions for Amex transport issues

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Whoever designed the A23 / A27 interchange wasn't very forward thinking. It was almost unfit for purpose the day after it opened never mind growth in traffic in 30 years since.

Also, the top of Mill Road is a nightmare for returning buses and supporters using the P&R. It can take 45mins to exit because traffic coming off the A27 onto the roundabout about is doing so at speed, and frequently. Which we must give right to obviously. Stick a set of light on so 15-20 vehicles from the P&R can exit at any one time!

Again, some proper policing or lights re-set for the hour or so either side of match would kill this problem just as it would on Village Way. But nobody cares or is interested. We just have too put up with therefore, but it's all utterly solvable if someone gave a ****

It's well beyond time to take a chunk out of the SDNP and tarmac it to ease the pressures and not just on match days. The sanctimony of protecting this green space without challenge is ridiculous and I just don't buy any of the 'well, it's the thin end of the wedge if you do that' arguments. Reminds me of the NIMBY ones against the stadium e.g. "the ducks, the ducks, but what about the DUCKS....?" Well, feck 'em, the Seagulls were more important. Next stupid question?!

Agree withthat, but not your final paragraph.

If the right steps were taken (including your suggestions above) then tarmacing over the South Downs wouldn't be required.
