Crazy to add more
Not only do we have the crazy Courtwick Lane development, now we have the equally mad North Littlehampton development.
Is it me or are there a few burning issues that have to be addressed?

2) Where are the jobs? Both developments promise commercial space, but with Littlehampton’s own industrial estates half empty, who is going to use them?
3) 1,800 new children wanting places in schools that can’t cope now (one child per new house).
4) 3,600 people wanting to have a doctor and dentist.
5) This means that between Tesco roundabout and The Body Shop roundabout there will be four roundabouts, four sets of traffic lights and two junctions from major housing estates.

Hide AdLittlehampton has a problem coping with its current population, so why is the council thinking about adding to it?
The only reason that I can think of is that they will get extra money for these developments.
I have read all the information about the two developments and I still can not see any justification for these houses and the inevitable problems they will bring.
