Request underway

This is a factual record of the request sent on 3 September, following a resident’s comment. A public reply confirming the request has also been posted.

The lead page is County Councillor WATCH – West Sussex. MAYOR WATCH follows future strategic transport implications; a future mayor does not currently run these services.

Resident concerns about bus numbers, idling and environmental effects are leads to check. WATCH has not independently established a daily count, measured pollution or a failure to assess the impact. A fuller report will follow when there is evidence to assess.
