New path away from infighting

However, such is the infighting currently prevalent amongst the Conservative groups at both Arun and the county council, this is by no means clear.

I'm sure that the electorate will recall the 18 years preceding this current Labour government when the Conservatives held office. If Mrs Thatcher was so good, why didn't she get the Arundel bypass built then?

If she had, Mr Dendle would not feel the need to be seriously concerned that Mr Whittington and the county council were in a process of ensuring that the Arundel bypass was never built.

Nor would Mr Dendle need to have concerns that the status quo would be maintained and that the Arun district would be choked economically and with the exhaust fumes of vehicles stuck in traffic jams.

A proper by-pass should have been built at Arundel decades ago, but the inept governments of both the two old parties, Conservatives and Labour, have let us down badly locally. There has to be another way; there is another way. There is an alternative means to ensure that things such as fundamental improvements to our local transport infrastructure are brought to fruition.

The two old parties have proved that they can't be trusted to do this and the electorate will soon be able to tell them just how little they trust them.
