Bypasses ruin our pleasant land
We do well and attract good staff in large part because West Sussex is a pleasant place to live and not covered in bypasses.
I know from direct experience of running my travel company, Projects Abroad, which has 500 staff worldwide, that a specialist labour force is best attracted to a pleasant place to live.

No one objects to small improvements, such as a footbridge instead of the pedestrian lights, as suggested by Bill Barwell (Gazette letters, July 29), but the massive environmental destruction entailed by a major bypass to the existing bypass is totally unnecessary.
We business-people have no objection to looking across to Arundel Castle and cathedral and we welcome travelling at 20 miles per hour for a change!
Most people who live in this area are tired of the misconceived idea that whizzing from place to place is always desirable.
