MP visits A27 roadworks site between Sompting and Shoreham
The East Worthing and Shoreham MP met managers from the Highways Agency on Friday morning after constituents had complained to him about the roadworks, which began last Monday.
Mr Loughton was given a tour of the two-mile site, between Shoreham and Sompting, and a briefing on what motorists and residents could expect over the next three months.

Mr Loughton questioned whether more work could be carried out at night, though he was told less noisy tasks like drain installation were already being done at night.
