Titnore Lane (East Sussex)
On Saturday, 29 October at 2pm, the newly formed ‘Titnore Emergency Action’ is to hold a protest at the southern end of Titnore Lane that is likely to form the start of an occupation of the Titnore lane site. It is intended that any Titnore Lane occupation will be the base camp supporting actions all along the A27.
Titnore Lane is a winding old English lane between the A27 and A259, with it's overhanging canopy provided by mature oak trees and believed to have once been a droveway with origins in pre-history. Soon all that history, charm and much biodiversity will be lost if the road builders get their way.
Proposed is a horrible scheme to widen, straighten, chop hundreds of mature trees etc and build a roundabout for an access road. All to provide a means for traffic to reach the already over-trafficked A27 from a massive new housing estate. An added concern is the threat to the designation of the South Downs National Park if this scheme goes ahead.
During the 90's determination prevented the so-called 'South Coast Super Highway'. However over the years since then, the siren voices are back, calling again for that Super Highway along the coast.
