Tim Loughton - Parliamentary Newsletter - November 2014

Dear Constituent,
 

The most important news in this newsletter is that the A27 improvements at Arundel and Worthing/Sompting/Lancing are to be included in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement. At long last they are back on the radar but there is a lot of work still to come as I detail below.

We are also awaiting imminently the interim report commissioned by the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Worthing Hospital about the potential impact of the MSK contract proposals. I will post further on this when they are out but we had a useful meeting with the CCG recently too.

Together with Sir Peter Bottomley I also had a meeting last month with Roffey to discuss their plans for a rather large block of flats on the Aquarena site and I have detailed below my reasons for opposing what I see as an inappropriate over-development.

Many thanks for the flood of survey responses on both the future of our relationship with the EU and the regeneration of Southwick. Keep them coming and I will then report back on the substantive findings in the New Year when the trickle dries up.

Finally, I would like to say thank you to Reverend Gail Souppouris who is retiring from Shoreham Beach Church of the Good Shepherd and whose packed farewell service at St Mary’s I attended on Sunday.

Best wishes,

Tim Loughton MP
