Tesco in move to ease road chaos at branches

The company has promised to consolidate deliveries, look at the route delivery drivers follow and whether cones can be used to stop drivers from parking outside the layby at the Aldwick Road branch.

Its drivers will also be asked for their views. The measures are aimed at easing congestion in front of the branch and the one in Pagham Road. The issue has been consistently raised at meetings of the joint western Arun area committee.

Two committee members, chairman Cllr George Blampied, and Cllr Michael Coleman recently met Tesco's respresentatives to discuss the situation. Cllr Blampied said: 'We are making progress with Tesco. Now they are looking at ways to sort out these problems we can hopefully reduce congestion and the related safety concerns of these roads.'
