If it's not worth the money, then why are people buying/renting here. If it was too expensive, surely people would go elsewhere? Also, I'm not sure the dog situation is purely due to the increased population, more the number of people with dogs – I walked around two Worthing parks (ironically...
Bringing the chat back to the subject of the thread, the A27 shenanigans are actually all in LANCING, not SHOREHAM-BY-SEA, so that's where people should be having a pop at!
Ah, so you're a JCL, then? :wink:
Don't get me wrong, I know LOADS of people who loathe what is happening, but I guess I'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing. There is a whole new generation of potential residents who are more than happy with the place becoming more 'built on', either...
I never said it was a good or a bad thing – it's merely the evolution of a town. As I said, it's been going on for years – and so have the issues around it.
Personally, apart from the obvious visual changes, I don't really see a lot of difference. The coast road was busy with a constant stream...
I never get this view of entitlement about a view. If you want to guarantee yourself a view of, say, the beach/sea or Downs, then move to the beach or much closer to the Downs!
And of course the infrastructure isn't there at the moment. They wouldn't invest in it all before the housing...
I'm probably going to go against the grain here, but as a veteran of 45 years in the town, I still love it and wouldn't dream of living anywhere else. Yes, it's changed and got busier, but that's ALWAYS been the way. It's not like it's a new phenomenon. It makes me laugh when I hear people...
Er, I drove east along USR, down Buckingham Road, along Queens Place/Ravens Road and then through Southdown Road, Pond Road, Middle Street and onto High Street at 11:30/12pm on Saturday. Can't get much closer to the 'action' than that!
It was 'okay'. Obvs not as clear as normal, but no-where...
Shorehamites LOVE to give it a bit of 'gridlock' the moment something is going on with the roads. Makes me laugh as it's normally nothing like gridlock. Busy, yes, but that's to be expected when a large amount of traffic is forced to all go along one route.
There was one Doris on a Facebook...
I've been caught up in this a few times and it didn't seem too bad, especially considering the amount of traffic coming off the 27 into and through SBS.
Some comments on the local FB group that Mrs B read out yesterday were hilarious. From drivers that were LITERALLY part of the problem by...
