LETTER: A Greggs on the A27 for fast food in Sussex?

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today, and has been written by our American colleagues. It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald.

They are building a fast food outlet on the A27 between Falmer and Lewes.

This is on a busy fast moving (70 mph speed limit) main road in the middle of the countryside.

Its construction has closed one lane resulting in delays to traffic of up to 20 minutes at some times. Surely lane closures should be restricted to evenings and nights?

Who gave permission for this crazy idea? When it opens traffic will need to slow down from 70 mph to access it, and when busy will the slip road traffic overflow onto the carriageway? 

I hate the expression ‘an accident waiting to happen’ but on this occasion it is apt.
