I aint sharing my car with some smelly herbert.... Now if it was a fit bird, that may change things

But can you imagine half the queue from the top of Mill Hill to the airport lights? Wouldn't that be great (and easily done) To be honest if that was my commute every day I would have a 125cc scooter in my garage and get home in a third of the time.

Had the same sort of BS a few years ago when it was mooted to have a Sainsbury's Local at the bottom of Preston Drove. Loads of NO posters in nearby windows, loads of crap about increased traffic congestion blahblahblah. Now the natives would be lost without it. Only place to stock up with fresh fruit and veg and decent ready meals for a mile around. OK, not quite the same thing with IKEA - least not until the natives need some new cheapo designer furniture and are faced with a trip to rat-infested Purley Way to inspect and collect it.

The best plan I've seen is by utilising the A283, then via or nearby Storrington, Houghton and rejoining at Fontwell.

Keep your singing to yourself thanks. That said what route would you suggest?

Why does there have to be a new route?

What medium to long term benefit would there be from 2 roads nose to tail in traffic?
In fairness once the construction ball-ache is finally done, I doubt there would be any short term benefit either.

Viable, sustainable, congestion busting, alternatives need to be sort for moving a large amount of people short distances effectively.

Thereby freeing up the roads for those travelling a worthy distance by car.
Not to mention some thought to junctions traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, none of which appear to be conducive to the flow of traffic.

In the interests of knowing what I'm talking about (thereby breaking the habit of a lifetime), I went and had a look at the likely route of the new bridleway. There seems to be plenty of room available and I can't see why there has been so much fuss.

Five councillors vote to approve the planning application and grant planning permission.

Three vote against.

Beat me to it, good news. I take it they cant appeal

They can try but the Secretary of State isn't going to call in application for social housing which is in the National Park. There are no legal grounds for appeal.

Just like the training ground. There was huge opposition to that as well.
