Who is affected?

Residents and families of Bognor, Pagham, Shripney and surrounding areas are currently facing significant disruptions to their daily lives as a result of road flooding. Commutes to work and school have been made almost impossibly difficult, with many residents reporting that they are unable to leave their homes due to long traffic being backed up by road closures (Lower Bognor Road & Shripney) and unacceptable temporary traffic lights (Pagham Road). Local businesses have also been affected, with long delays due to drivers being stuck in traffic jams caused by the road issues.

What is at stake?

If immediate action is not taken to address the road flooding, the impacts on the community will only continue to worsen. People will continue to struggle to get to work and school, and local businesses may suffer permanent financial losses. The quality of life for residents in the affected areas will continue to decline, and the community as a whole will suffer.

Subsequently the ‘Local Plan’ also needs reviewing in light of the fact that the road infrastructure is not fit for purpose.
