Letter: MPs Back M27 Plans
29 June 2015
The following letter has been sent to the Evening Argus, in response to their report of 9 June 2015 MPs are United on A27 Widening Through Sussex:
Dear Evening Argus Editor,
Re the A27: your article earlier this month entitled ‘MPs are united on A27 widening’ seems to imply that all our problems will be solved by converting the A27 into a motorway style dual carriageway. Reports produced for the Department for Transport glibly talk about things like 35,000 extra jobs and £860 million of economic benefit for Sussex. These figures have never been justified.

Defend Nature - an urgent call to action
The air we breathe, food we eat, water we drink, and even the natural habitats and landscapes we enjoy, these are just a few of the essential benefits of nature that contribute to our health and well-being. In Europe, the Birds Directive, Habitat Directive and the Natura 2000 network of designated conservation sites have served us well for decades in protecting and enhancing the natural environment. However, these laws are under threat of being weakened through the European Commission's REFIT review, which is evaluating whether the existing nature regulations are fit for purpose.
