Lovely place
You're not stuck in traffic - you are traffic.
That's because Shoreham is rapidly becoming Shorehattan. Gulagesque hi-rise architecture abounds.

True, but main issue at mo is a fair number of ‘works’ going on …Upper Shoreham Rd and Brighton Rd Lancing, Old Shoreham Rd to name but three …then we have the overnight closure of the A27
Works with temp lights and a few stop n go’s. Putting in services for the ridiculous amount of blocks of flats flying up in Shoreham.
A few decades from now, people will curse what they allowed happen to Shoreham.

Cursing it now!
Well quite.
I had a conversation with some Shoreham folks in a pub about 4 years ago. I said Shoreham was going to change irreversibly over the next ten years.
They were having none of it. I think in a bid to fool themselves. “I’ve lived here ten years, it hasn’t changed. You don’t know what you’re talking about”. She was rather rude.
I’ve been a very frequent visitor to Shoreham since ‘98 and I’ve lived around here for just under 10 years. It’s really changed.
Amusingly, she has a flat opposite the row of new build blocks that have now shrouded her property in eternal shadow.
Of course, it’s good for a town to move with the times and keep viable.
But all they are doing is whacking up flats with no improvement infrastructure.
That’s strangling the place.
Glad I moved along the road to the much maligned Lancing.
Never have to wait for a GP appointment, got an NHS dentist etc
As long as you don’t mind living alongside some of the ugliest people ever to ride mobility scooters and being three miles from the nearest avocado, it’s good enough.
Yeah. Get orf my land!
You think Shoreham is being occupied by immigrants?
I have seen several of your posts tonight, and you are clearly a right wing tit. So you can f*** right off and go on ignore.
I don't have to wait for a few decades. I'm cursing it as I type.
I’m an ex-Shoreham boy. Moved out when I was 18 and haven’t been back to live there. However, my Mum and Dad still live there and so I’ve watched it change with some interest.
I’d say that 10 years ago it was changing for the better. Families moving in. New businesses seemed to be popping up. It was getting popular.
Then the developers got wind that Shoreham might be an attractive proposition and starting throwing up apartments with little thought as to how the people in them might be served or what they might turn into in the long term.
Shoreham’s not a brown field site. It was a town and a community and I’ve a feeling developers didn’t care much about that. It was more about how many they could squeeze in.

Shoreham is of a size where you can get to all of it pretty easy from the train station and the trains are regular. There's buses into Brighton, cycle path along the coast to Worthing.
It won't be for everyone, but there are non driving options if you're living there

One of the development companies is called Solid Sky.
That should tell you what they have in store for Shoreham.

I was raised in Shoreham and left in '88 and my Mum still lives there. Whilst it has changed, it's been unbearably too slow. I spent my youth dreaming of being somewhere with something to do and waves of immigrants the size of Birmingham.

Lived here all my life and won’t be moving for the foreseeable (no option to) …born here..raised here as I have my kids …and still love the place …five mins on a bike one way I’m on the downs …the other way the beach ….but boy the lack of thought re the developments
…told last week one of the main doctors surgeries have closed their doors to new patients…which leaves the one I go to which is bad enough….and this is before even one of the new swathe of developments has even been finished

Absolutely love Shoreham, was raised there. My mum still has the same house I was born in 35 years ago. But it's becoming a bit poncey and over priced, seems that all those who were priced out of living in Brighton and Hove have moved there driving prices up.

Me too, I left in 1986, and until I got to pub age (or a couple of years before) the only things there was Woolies and Buckingham Park. After that I played football for Shoreham Utd and Greenjacket and was a member of the rowing club.
The lancing one is doing my head in to hove and pteston street most mornings.
