Don't know if you have heard but anyone who enjoys the A272 around West Sussex is soon going to be disappointed! Cowdray Estate is planning to excavate 4 million tonnes of sand from just West of Midhurst and move it by lorry - that's 100,000 lorry loads! What does that mean for us a lorry every 10 minutes for 5 years all using the A272? What can we do? If you feel that this volume of traffic will destroy this great ride you can object to this proposal:- Online go to: westsussex.gov.uk/mwdf Click 'Soft Sands Review - consultation' Scroll down to 'Response Form' Fill in your details and go to Question 5 Object to thousands of HGV's on rural roads - A272. You can also email:
