A27 meeting is postponded

A crunch meeting with a government minister to ask for funding for an A27 upgrade at Chichester was postponed this week. MP Gillian Keegan and council leaders had been due to meet Minster of

State for Transport Jesse Norman on Monday.

The meeting was postponed by the Department of Transport with no new date yet rescheduled, Gillian Keegan’s office confirmed. It comes after Highways England rejected options put to it for a new northern route or a southern upgrade to the existing A27.
