No further funds
WHILE I appreciate Phil Langham’s suggestion (Gazette letters, July 5) that a word from me to the authorities might see some improvement to our footpaths and hedgerows, their response would be that, due to Government financial cuts, no further public funds are available.
This emphasises the importance of the present, unique opportunity to secure the major safety improvement of the provision, by private funds, of a pedestrian/cycleway bridge across the railway at Mill Lane, Rustington, as part of the Sainsbury’s redevelopment.
County councillor Dr James Walsh, chairman of the working group of the joint east Arun area committee, with the additional support of Arun District Council, is now in a very strong negotiating position, that I am sure Mr Langham will fully support.
