LETTER: Southerners matter less

As someone who lives 15 miles west of Chichester, only visiting a few times per year, I feel able to comment on the A27 saga with impartiality.

It appears that tens of thousands of people, who live in Bognor, Selsey, The Witterings and the ever-increasing population on The Manhood Peninsula, seem to matter much less to ‘the powers that be’, than the smaller and mostly (but not entirely) wealthier communities with louder voices to the north of the city.

For three decades the people south of the A27 have endured daily gridlock, trying to reach their workplace and return home therefrom.
