Last week to tell Highways England:
Hands Off Our Wildlife!
Huge new 70mph dual carriageway routes carving up Arundel's countryside would lead to local extinctions of red-listed species. This week you still have a chance to tell Highways England to stop ignoring the environment and climate emergency with their terrible Arundel scheme. This barn owl's nest and feeding area would be destroyed by Magenta, Amber or Grey routes:
From rare bats to badgers, from rare butterflies to brilliant birds, from dormice to diving beetles... These roads would tear up a unique patchwork quilt of woodlands and wetlands. Two of the most vital and richest habitats for wildlife. The barn owl in this photo has flown across all 3 routes to bring back this field vole for its child owlets, whose future would be torn asunder:
The bigger faster roads would also burn more carbon, destroying our grandchildren's future as well as the nature around them. This owl's nest tree is in the Scotland Oak on the picture below, and its mate roosts in a barn nearer the Grey route. The owls and their children would not survive the new road.
Please act now. Make sure you fill in the survey below before the 24th of October.
In just a few minutes you could save this 1000-year-old village from the Magenta route - and still improve Arundel's traffic infrastructure - by supporting the
A27 Arundel Alternative
Please fill in Highways England's online survey, by 24th October latest:

WHAT TO SAY?
1. OBJECT
to all four of the big bypasses through the countryside - Magenta, Amber, Grey and Crimson. Magenta is being pushed by would-be countryside-destroying MP Nick Herbert: Magenta is worst for the villages, and one of the worst for wildlife.
2. SUPPORT
the short-bypass ALIGNMENT of Beige (or Cyan) - or Do Nothing
3. COMMENT (in the text box B10):
NOT 70mph dual carriageway;
MUST BE 40mph wide-single carriageway:
the "Arundel Alternative".
