A24 DURRINGTON ROUNDABOUT , WORTHING , WEST SUSSEX

An alternative to tunnels and bridges fording the shallow
Findon Valley was a bridge or underpass at this roundabout.
This was most likely going to be the chosen solution although
its effect had already been felt. A swathe of houses on the right
hand turn off ( A2031 ) had been blighted by the exercise and
had been emptied as a result - the residents being paid off at the
going rate as estimated by local estate agents. The empty
houses then remained in the possession of the Crown and some were
utilised as social housing which was administered by housing
associations. On the corner of the turn off is a cemetary which would
have entailed some graves being positioned elsewhere. Many houses
were in time demolished to make way for multi modern developments.
So some people benefitted at least....!!
