Road link: The environmental view
BIG guns from environmental groups presented a united front against the Bexhill to Hastings link road.
Top representatives from Friends of the Earth, the Campaign for the Preservation of Rural England (CPRE), the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the Woodland Trust and Transport 2000 marched along a stretch of the proposed route near Crowhurst to show their opposition to the scheme.
These same groups were the main opponents of the Hastings Western Bypass and convinced the government to reject the plan in 2001.
