A27 East of Lewes Stakeholder
Dear Department for Transport,
Lewes MP Maria Caulfield is opposed to a new offline A27 route between Lewes and Polegate, and wishes any investment granted to Highways England to be spent on improving the existing road.
Can you confirm that the Civil Servants in your department assessing bids for RIS2 funding are fully aware of this important stakeholder's views ?
Yours faithfully,
Bill Rogers
Dear Department for Transport,
Very much looking forward to your prompt reply
Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Pocock,
To assist you with your investigation into 'non-delivery', I asked the volunteers of the What Do They Know site, which routed the inquiry, to check what happened. I hope you can act on their reply, which they've allowed me to forward, and let us know what went wrong.
Bill,

misconfigured or not working correctly.

The WhatDoTheyKnow server received the following from the ProofPoint
server the Department is using to receive emails, dated Jul 9
09:01:28:
"250 2.0.0 2tjk7dtqdp-1 Message accepted for delivery"
The Department working with their supplier should be able to track
what happened to the message given the ID present in that
confirmation.
You are welcome to share this information with the Department on the
request thread. We at WhatDoTheyKnow are keen to help the Department
