Access to the beautiful Combe Valley has now been opened - with a massive scar! How long will it take to heal? Ten years? Even longer. You could also call it a rape as well. Whips cowering in plastic sleeves will produce no effective landscaping impact for at least ten years - they were planted AFTER the road was built, and not before, as we had urged , once the go ahead to build was given. And who can tell when the biodiversity they destroyed during the construction will return? It will have also to contend with the pollution the road engenders.
Could this devastation in the name of roads be a template for other proposals along the South Coast A 27 corridor?
