Spirit FM's DJ Stuart McGinley engaged in the debate about the A27 northern bypass at Chichester on 21 January 2016, by urging people to think of the consequences the bypass would have.
Teaming up with the Chichester Observer and with input from the Chichester Deserves Better campaign, Spirit FM have expressed concern about the current lack of clarity behind Highways England's plans, which, as McGinley says, will only be open to consultation for six weeks when they are finally published.
He writes: ""You might be south of Chichester and thinking a new northern bypass is a great idea, especially if you always get stuck in traffic trying to get across the A27 from Bognor, Selsey and the Witterings. However, what we aren't being told is that if the new road goes ahead, we could see 34,000 new homes being built to the north of the City itself and as a result the current traffic levels will return to the current A27 within about five years".
