Councillors will get a chance to discuss recommendations from council officers at a meeting at County Hall in Chichester next Thursday, September 28.

Highways England manages the A27 on behalf of the Government and launched a public consultation on three options on August 22. This closes on October 16.

West Sussex County Council is a statutory consultee in the process but it is the Secretary of State who will make a final decision on the scheme.

County council officers have considered the different options and made recommendations.

The assessments, and the council’s draft response to the consultation, will be scrutinised by the county council’s environmental and community services select committee.

The committee meets at County Hall in Chichester at 10.30am. It is open to the public.
