South Downs Parkway

For the second evening running Gorse Fox has had trouble posting, so will again resort to an email post in the hope that it arrives.

Thursday was a long and intense meeting with "The Department" bracketed by nearly 7 hours in the car enjoying the pleasures of driving across the country and back.

The Americans have a wonderful concept of a "Parkway" (e.g. the Taconic Parkway in NY). This is a road that is restricted to non-commercial traffic. After this morning's drive, stck behind 2 Highways Maintenance Lorries, Gorse Fox has decided that the A272 should become the South Downs Parkway. As such it will be limited to:

  • Private cars

There will be:

  • No vans
  • No Lorries
  • No car that drives at less than 50 mph
This should knock 10-15 minutes off the journey

The Gorse Fox commends it to the house
