The promise of America is alive and well thank you very much. You will not see much economic difference between people with equal skills and drive. Just look at our Asian immigrants. They seem to be doing just fine in the second generation as many of them pour themselves into getting a top notch education.
A good education is there for everyone in America who bothers. All our colleges esssentaill use the same books. It is what you decide to get out of those books that makes the difference. This goes to the individual and their determination to improve their lot.
I welcome decentralisation of my fine country. Local leaders are eassier to keep track of and there is nowhere for them to hide. I would much rather give what I pay the Feds to the State and what I give the State to the Feds.
Some places will be more developed than others, and people will move from backwaters to more innovative places. Maybe we can make the backwaters into national parks when everyone leaves them (see the rust belt), or maybe the cheap real estate will drive a new renissiance (sp?) for these areas. I live in a city where you can buy a decent house for $40K. I moved from a place where that same house was $400K for a reason (Southern California....). The funny thing is I got a pay raise (not just a lower cost of living).
Proctor and Gamble and Disney would like us all to be nice little automotrons that they can market to with a simple message to buy their wares. Maybe it will not be so easy for them in the future. A good book to look at on this subject is "the third wave" which talks about people moving to places that match their ideals and creating economies driven by innovation. Sounds like where we are headed. I am looking forward to it.
One simple, cheap answer to the problem described in the Big Sort is for redistricting to be taken out of the hands of legislators and vested in a independent nonpartisan commissions. What makes the problem of voter concentration in "landslide" districts so toxic is the fact that redistricting allows the politicians to pick the voters, instead of vice-versa, the truly democratic process. Thus once elected, the pols stay in office till they die and fresh ideas are never allowed in.
The happy result would also counter voter apathy, a situation described by Democrats as "a problem" and remedied by them with a raft of easy voting laws whose principal product appears to be rampant voter fraud in their favor.
For more insight into the Big Sort, esp along educational lines, readers should look at Charles Murray's articles at AEI.org, and Samuel Huntington's Who Are We?
Unless the alien abduction happened while I wasn't looking, 30 million is one tenth of the population, not one third.
Saw this distopic vision:
"Within 2-3 generations America will be Spanish speaking, with gang members and drug dealers running amok."
Considering 81 percent of Americans speak English today, and only a little more than 10 percent Spanish, and most kids of immigrants are picking up English (even my most right wing of friends who teach in the public schools concede this), I doubt this will occur. Also, I believe the population growth in most Spanish speaking countries will level off in two generations (don't have the specifics on hand from the UN population forecasts, but I recall they indicated such trends).
Otherwise, seems like the crime rates stayed down or even dropped. I think that was even inferred for states on the borders, like Arizona. The US Census has all sorts of excel spreadsheets, drawn from data from U.S. Department of Justice.
@mataylor16, I concur whole-heartedly with your sentiments. I fear that as a result of decades of outsourcing, free trade, and the inaccessibility of good technical education and skills training -- we may have created a large underclass, -- of people who are neither educated nor skilled, and for whom the job market is vanishing before their eyes. A flood of cheap labour entering through wide-open borders has simply added to the maelstrom. Due to severely inadequate public education, and the ever-spiralling costs of universities, this large group of unskilled labour continues to swell. Lacking the education to obtain a skilled position, and lacking the means to obtain said education, and lacking un-skilled labour positions in an ever-more-competitive market, they have nowhere to go at all except into the arms of the Welfare State. There are simply way more low-skilled employees than low-skilled jobs; and increasingly these low-skilled employees must compete with illegal immigrants, hired on the cheap and paid low wages sub mensa whilst their employers pocket the tax money they'd have owed otherwise. However much it should dismay the anti-immigration sorts, as long as there is a demand in the labour market, the corporate interests will turn the blind eye to their hiring practises; and perhaps, therefore, it would be wiser to direct their furore at the employers, not the employees, who are simply following the jobs.
The USA has been divided since the war between the States; this division has been patched over numerous times in the years since -- but it does no good to keep up with the plaster if the lath is rotten. The politicians here are by and large beholden to their corporate pocketbook-fillers; since they no longer serve the interests of their constituencies, the majority of the public feels a vast disconnect between what they expect of their government and what they receive in return. The great "Middle Class" which is so uniquely American is under pressure from both the bottom and from above, unwilling to lower their standards or expectations, and unable to gain ground in an unstable economy fraught with peril for investors and small-business owners. The different states, regions, classes, and ethnic groups each have their own wants and needs and expectations from the Federal government. As long as these are so radically divergent it is likely that the Federal ability to govern will continue to be compromised and ineffective.
The more important question is whether America will become a better or a worse place to live. "Harder to govern" is only a problem for those who wish to do the governing, and there's no reason to believe that a nation that's easy to govern is also a good one to live in. Furthermore, "USA" stands for the "United States of America", not "The Nation of America". This nation has a federal system, which means that only a portion of the governing need be done at the federal level.
I would also argue that whatever "dramatic, uneven changes" are currently taking place, they are mild compared to what the US has undergone in the past. The Civil War clearly represented the most dramatic period in US history, but the decades on either side of the turn of the 20th century were a period of very severe change as well. During that time period, capitalism literally fought pitched battles with labor. Marxism, communism, and socialism were all viable political forces. Technology, in the form of telecommunications, electric power, and automobiles were reshaping society, and radical increases in federal power were instituted in areas ranging from anti-trust laws and graduated income tax to national parks and forests.
The Depression and WWII turned the US into a global power, but also took the edge of an incipient labor revolution by creating a number of federal institutions that could honestly be called socialist.
Most recently, the late 1960s were another period of dramatic, uneven changes, beginning with prosperity and ending with recession, but also beginning with war and ending with peace, and along the way passing major environmental and social-justice legislation against a backdrop of protests that were often nearly riots that were often nearly a revolution.
By comparison to even these three periods of major change (excluding the Civil War), what we're going through now is really nothing. We had a somewhat more interesting than usual mid-term election, and we're having a fairly serious recession, but still nothing resembling the 1930s. Nothing terribly radical is even being proposed. Sarah Palin may be part of a new wave of political celebrities, but she's no Jacob Coxey, Gerald MacGuire, or Martin Luther King, Jr. People still hold strong opinions about environmental and social justice issues, but nobody's rioting over them, possibly because a 0.12% increase in CO2 levels is harder to get excited about than rivers catching fire and barrels of fuming industrial waste popping up in people's yards, and allowing gays to marry seems less pressing than stopping blacks from being lynched.
All in all, this article falls into the common myopic trap of assuming that whatever seems dramatic at the moment is truly dangerous and revolutionary. To anyone with some historical perspective, that's barely one step above getting worked up about the personal lives of movie stars. The United States is past drama. Drama is for young countries full of hot-blooded young men, ready to take to the streets to remake the country according to their vision, with equally hot-blooded young men opposing them. That's not the modern USA. There are a lot of unemployed, but they are not particularly hungry or angry, thanks to extended unemployment benefits. People who splurged on big-screen TVs for Christmas a few years ago are junking them and buying Blu-Ray 3D HDTVs this year. The highways and parking lots are still jammed with cars, most of them fairly new. Elections that were won by a few percent in favor of the Democrats 2 or 4 years ago were won by a few percent in favor of the Republicans this year. None of this looks terribly, dramatic, uneven, or revolutionary to me. It's a small shift, a mid-course correction if you will, which is something that the American political system is actually pretty good at.
With regards to this point, is there a source or set of sources that one could follow up with?
"Given that average household size has been shrinking for decades, if you stop comparing household income and look at median gdp per capita, the picture is a lot less bleak in the last decade, and positively encouraging over the last 30 years"
I am honestly interested because I have a hard time finding median incompe per capita.
Otherwise, I thought household income inflated the appearance of good times back in the 1980s because of the growth of the two income earner family. I would also be curious to see how many households have two income earners.
I noticed this entry and had a few questions:
"Rural America may eventually rule itself, as all of Switzerland and most of continental Europe does. This forms a bottoms-up democracy with 90% of all tax money going to support the small towns and cities. "
Questions I have, include:
- What percentage of America resides in a rural environment? Is it somewhere between 10 to 20?
- Are there not representative political structures and elections at the town, country and state level in areas deemed rural, on top of federal election?
- Are not states deemed rural typically more dependent on Federal funding (although the recent bailouts may have changed this temporarily)? Someone had posted this link on the economist a few weeks back that shows the tax burden by state - http://www.taxfoundation.org/
The only case for rural regions benefitting from disintegration of the Federal government that I can think of is maybe a free-for-all landgrab of federal land/resources. Otherwise, I think it is all downside.
The current US crisis is a test of integrity and unity.
United States of America is not a democracy - My vote in New York is not same as my vote in Nebraska.
United States of America is not fair to its States - Self-righteous folks from Alaska can interfere in federal infrastructure programs in California while taking $5.1 of Federal dollar for $1 compared to California taking $0.89 to $1.
Just look at the balance sheets of these square states in the middle of USA - they are practically living off the coastal states while getting better share of the electoral power per person.
So, let's split up the nation - let the midwest go back to stone age and just provide mining and farming and coastal states need not have to deal with their selfish, short sighted, ignorant senators.
Anyone else with me for this experiment?
The article said, "America as a whole is becoming better educated. In 2000 24% of those 25 and older had a bachelors degree or more. By 2009 28% did."
I'm not sure that's accurate as stated. I've seen some responsible articles recently which claim that these 'graduate' statistics include not only degrees but diplomas - which are typically one to two years to obtain.
There is also the recognised problem of US education 'dumbing-down' to a considerable degree during the past 20 to 30 years. Perhaps not measurable, but certainly an important part of the whole picture.
As an aside, I can't imagine for the life of me where some people obtain "facts". Case in point:
Beaverbrook wrote:
"The vast majority of Americans operate small businesses ...."
"30 million Canadians (half of its population and equal to those who remain) have moved to the same part of the US in recent years."
Comments like these are clearly incorrect on sight. I rest my case about the dumbing-down of US education.
I can't see why the FED is so afraid of deflation. In a bubble the only solution is deflation. With declining wages in addition, it makes even more sense.
Nations rise and nations fall. Dust to dust. Mainly I just wonder when and how and whether we'll be able to prolong it next time as a result of what we learn.
Would be an awful waste if we didn't.
this article was pretty good
it was on point with the idea of immigrants having great exconomic ideas, fueling the private sector
@Fossil American: Putting aside issues of affirmative action, it simply irks me when I see race statistics used to make such blanket statements on the educational attainment levels of minority groups. There seems to be an implicit 'James Watson-esque' type prejudice inherent in the frequent quoting of these stats.
Also, they appear to completely disregard the fact, that the stats reflect a class problem, by placing the focus entirely on the race of the respondents. It would be more useful, at the very least policy-wise, to inquire about income levels of students at various educational levels. Hence, you see the difference in educational attainment levels among recent African migrants (who are usually the "cream of the crop" from their countries, so to speak) and upper class African-Americans, who usually do very well in terms of educational attainment, versus working class African-Americans.
But, if we do insist on speaking purely in terms of race statistics, then we must put all the numbers on the table and mention the educational achievements of African foreign born migrants as well, just to be fair and well, honest.
@ Nige_2: Clearly that is an issue with the categories made available on those census forms themselves. But, that is a discussion for another article so I'll leave it at that.
Erere wrote: ""blacks and Hispanics are lagging". Really, now. Last I heard, the African foreign born population was outperforming all other ethnic groups on educational attainment measures (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_immigration_to_the_United_States). Of course, I do know which section of "blacks" you are referring to..."
Academia is a hot bed of affirmative action. Ask any white student trying to get into medical school.
So, I doubt what exactly does "education attainment" measures when it counts only "attending elite university". In today's climate with admission, getting into an "elite university" or even getting a degree doesn't mean much.
I wish "affirmative action" never existed. Without it, such doubt in people's mind will never exist. It is as if to proof the point about affirmative action, the article cites Obama's degree. How sad.
John 76 I also want to say that immigration reform was overly necessary and in 1965 the population intake had to reflect the racial make up of the nation as was per the 1890 census. If that shows anything it is not that immigration reform in the US leads to greater illegal immigration, but rather, that immigration reform is something which happens once every half century. I think that one also has to look at the opportunities that have swelled in the US and languished in Mexico.
The population covers all kinds of people and opportunities must exist for each strata. America has managed to liberate all low skill workforce (which produced consumer goods) from work and decided to outsource the goods (they produced) from China. Then America also liberated most of the low skilled work-force doing service jobs from work and gave those jobs to illegal migrant workers (who could be hired at cheaper rates). The only Government Printing press works overtime for printing currency and bonds.
This situation will soon result in exporters asking payments of their goods and services in their own currencies. This has happened in past with Banana republics. There is a new BANANA republic in making. 20 years is a small time in history but adequate time for countries building up their economies if they have a will to work. Examples are China now, USSR Germany and Japan after WWII. It is a period in which countries have shown similar decline Great Britain and Zambia are examples.
Americans have to decide on their own future.
African foreign born migrants are the highest educated in the country, as are their children, however they are far outnumbered by black identifying people who are slave descendants. Respondents in the census were asked to identify their race and black was one of the options so it is the people who ticked that box that the Economist refers to as black.

This is Amelia Rayno's third season on the Gophers men's basketball beat. She learned college basketball in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), where fanhood is not an option. In 2010, she joined the Star Tribune after graduating from Boston's Emerson College, which sadly had no exciting D-I college hoops to latch onto. Amelia has also worked on the sports desk at the Boston Globe and interned at the Detroit News.Follow Rayno on Twitter @AmeliaRayno
This game might have just gotten a lot less interesting.
The South Dakota State matchup has been eyed on the schedule all year long as kind of a one-man show; a chance to see their super star Nate Wolters again, and how he's improved from his junior campaign a year ago.
But this morning, Terry Vandrovec of the Argus Leader reported that during a practice last night, Wolters rolled one of his ankles and is now questionable for tonight's game.
While Wolters did participate in the team's shoot around this morning, as Vandrovec said, the guard likely wouldn't be at 100 percent even if he does suit up.
Without Wolters, this game might not have much drama as there aren't a ton of pieces surrounding the senior point guard.
And if the Jackrabbits weren't weakened enough, they might also be without Taevaunn Prince, who had some sort of toe injury on Friday.
Together, Wolters and Prince make up almost 37 percent of the Jackrabbits' scoring.
Some other notes on tonight's game:
Extra points:
*The Gophers play on ESPN3 tonight. For those not familiar, that is not a channel, it's online.
*Listen to tonight's game live on 1500-a.m.
*I talked to Nate Wolters, his coach and his roommate about what has made him so successful. It's in today's Star Tribune and here.

Tiger, Phil need their Duel in the Sun
MEDINAH, Ill. -- On the whole, golf fans are a spoiled, demanding lot. We're not talking about the inherent need for the newest 460cc mega-blaster driver or the impulsive urge to play a quick nine before dinner following a 36-hole afternoon, though each could be labeled a gluttonous pursuit of eternal enjoyment.
Instead, it's their unceasing desire for more, more, more from their icons on the professional level. A top-level golfer can barely enjoy the fruits of his labor before fans clamor for more results, more victories, more excitement.
Then there's Tiger Woods. Not that anyone ever doubted his extreme aptitude on the course, but there was that 10-major winless streak a few years back. No matter, the world's No. 1-ranked player simply triumphed in three of the next seven to quench his fans' thirst for more from their hero.
So now what? After each claimed three of the last 11 major championships (if you're scoring at home, that's six for the world's top two golfers and five for the rest), what can Tiger and Phil do for an encore? It's the burning question from golf fans who have become spoiled by the success of the sport's best players.
How's this for an idea: Woods and Mickelson, playing together in the final pairing of a major, three shots clear of the next closest competitors as they step to the 15th tee box. Fans would be lined 20 to 25 deep against the ropes just to catch a glimpse of the two warriors. Television ratings would soar to an all-time high.
How would it end? Well, there's no telling, because we've never been treated to such a spectacle. Oh sure, there was the final round of the Masters back in 2001 when Woods extended a one-stroke lead to three over Mickelson in earning the green jacket. And we saw them get after it at Doral last year, with Tiger besting Phil by a single shot, though that was hardly a major championship atmosphere.
But that dream scenario, the one in which the two ultra-talented players and supremely divergent personalities stage their own version of Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus' Duel in the Sun at Turnberry back in 1977, has yet to come to fruition. It would mark the natural evolution of their ever-growing rivalry, the last morsel of rapacious overindulgence for golf fans who have witnessed the continued entertainment value of Woods and Mickelson.
Of course, at least we'll be treated to the storybook beginning at this week's PGA Championship, as the players will be paired together (along with fellow major champion Geoff Ogilvy) for the opening 36 holes.
"What I would love to see happen is to see us both play well and both have a chance and be paired together in later groups," Mickelson said. "That would be terrific."
His counterpart was equally cordial in comments about extending their playing partnership over the weekend. "To be able to go down the stretch in a major championship is always fun. With a talent like Phil, you always know you have to play your best in order to come out on top."
However, not everyone close to the situation has been so courteous this week. Mickelson's short-game coach Dave Pelz made major waves when he told the Chicago Tribune, "When Phil's at his best, I'm thinking nobody can beat him."
And that includes Tiger Woods?
"You bet it does," Pelz said. "If Phil's long swing is good, his short game, I believe, is the best in the world. He doesn't have a serious weakness inside 150 yards.
"I'm not saying Tiger's short game is bad. He has a great short game. But I think Phil putts more consistently than Tiger does. He has more imagination and a few more shots around the green."
A little extra fuel always helps stoke the competitive fire. When asked about Pelz's comments, Woods simply responded, "I think I'm pretty tough to beat when I'm playing well, too."
So, let's see it, fellas. Both of you bring your A-games to Medinah this week, play out of your minds for three rounds and separate yourselves from the competition. Deliver your generation's version of the Duel in the Sun to golf fans. Give 'em what they've all been waiting for. Make 'em even more spoiled than they already are.

Gallery: Amazing Osorb Chemical Sponge Removes Contaminants From Water
A miracle chemical sponge could be the answer to cleaning up contaminated water and eliminating harmful toxins from the environment. A team led by chemist Paul Edmiston discovered the Osorb material, which removes toxins from water without bonding to H2O molecules, yielding clean water. The glass substance has been proven to act like a nanomechanical sponge that drinks up petroleum, solvents and other toxins. Osorb sponges can swell up to 8 times in volume as they scoop up contaminants, and the material can lift 20,000 times its own weight!
Edmiston likes to make a spectacle with the effectiveness of Osorb's toxin removal qualities. Mixing motor oil and water, he then adds Osorb, which cleans the water. After removing the resulting swollen powder, Edmiston stands by the substance by drinking the water down – which is totally clean. The hydrophobic silica the material ignores water while bonding with both polar and non-polar compounds. The contaminants can then be removed easily from the water, and the Osorb can be reused up to 100 times.
The power of Osorb is currently being tested – Ohio treated 60 gallons of water per minute in a well, reducing its petroleum content from 227 milligrams per liter to just 0.1 mg. With the aid of Osorb, industrial accidents could be cleaned up quickly, and at high volumes – applications include purifying wastewater from fracking and cleaning up environmental disasters.

PBS Frontline looks at the Power of the NRA.
December 11th Vigil exceeded all the planners' hopes and expectations. Over 200 people attended, heard excellent speakers, marched around the capitol, signed cards to legislative leaders, and watched a performance on the capitol steps by Colorado Ceasefire Youth. Special thanks to Alana Smart, who chaired the committee that did the extensive planning, and to Josie Brady for bringing so many youth to the movement.
At long last, our country has a Surgeon General. It took over a year, but Dr. Vivek Murthy was confirmed on December 15th despite strong opposition from the NRA (which told senators it was scoring the vote.). Special thanks to Sen. Ted Cruz, whose ploy to hold up a spending bill enabled the Democratic leadership to bring up the Murthy vote. But the greatest thanks are toYOU for your calls to Senators Udall and Bennet, both of whom supported the Murthy nomination.
NPR's Political Folk Song of the Year is focused on gender-based violence, particularly gun violence. Alynda Lee Segarra wrote "The Body Electric' because she was disturbed at the comfort level of musicians and listeners to violent lyrics. The recording is by Hurray for the Riff Raff.

Facts: Stanford researchers John Donahue et al. confirmed that concealed carry laws, rather than reducing crime, are associated with an increase in violent crime, particularly aggravated assaults, which researchers show increased by 8% in states with CCW laws in place. Although the evidence is less strong, CCW laws are also associated with increases in rape, robbery and homicide. http://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/november/donohue-guns-study-111414.html

Bath bolster pack with double signing
ESPN Staff
November 28, 2012
Eusebio Guinazu is wrapped up against the Boks © PA Photos
Bath Rugby have added two fresh faces to their pack with the signings of Eusebio Guinazu and Mat Gilbert.
Guinazu can cover both hooker and prop and has lined up in both the northern and southern hemispheres after turning out for Toulouse, Biarritz and the Stormers. He will also bring Test experience to the Bath front-row having started all six of Argentina's matches in the Rugby Championship and their three November Tests. He has penned a two-year deal and is joined at the club by Gilbert.
Gilbert arrives from Mogliano and has also turned out for the Scarlets and joins until the end of the season. He has also won 11 caps for the England Deaf rugby team.
And Bath boss Gary Gold was delighted to announce his new pair of signings saying: "Both Eusebio and Mat will be great additions to the squad we have here. Eusebio has a huge amount of experience which will be a great benefit to us, whilst Matt is a special young talent with a lot to offer the game. They are great guys, will fit in well, and we're looking forward to them joining us."

A21 Tonbridge to Pembury Dualling
Major Scheme
Part of our programme of improvements (value >10m)
Traffic Management
Night time lane closures – These will continue into February to allow a number of different activities to be carried out which need to be done with a lane closure. Traffic lights will be used during these works.
The installation of the 40mph speed limit along the A21is scheduled to begin in mid / late March. As part of this process a right turn ban will be put in place when entering or leaving Half Moon Lane, Pembury Walks or the garage.
Translocation of Woodland
Work is now underway which started in early January. The area currently being moved is located near to Longfield Road, where the donor and receptor sites are on the same side of the A21, so there is no need for any additional transport or crossing points on the A21.
Archaeology & Cultural Heritage
The team of archaeologists are working on site and are checking all areas of ground before any excavation begins. This is called a watching brief and the archaeologists will continue to do this until they are content no artefacts or interesting features are likely to be found.
To date, a few items of interest have been located and, once they have been fully assessed, we hope to be able to share what they were.
The removal of the barn and stables from May Day Farm has begun and will be ongoing until March / April. Representatives from the Weald and Downland Museum are undertaking the recording and dismantling works.
Construction Activities
Some limited construction work began during January.
Near the Vauxhall Lane junction work has started to create a haul road, which will in time become the footprint for the non-motorised user route. Construction vehicles will be using this route to get to work areas, so we limit the need for our traffic to be running on the A21.
The main compound, the entrance of which will be off the A21 just to the north of Half Moon Lane, is being created.
What is happening?
We are proposing to upgrade the existing single carriageway A21 between Tonbridge and Pembury to dual 2-lane carriageways.
The new dual carriageway will broadly follow the line of the existing A21 with a new grade separated junctions at Fairthorne (by the petrol station) and at Longfield Road, replacing the existing roundabout at the southern end of the scheme. At the northern end, there will be a minor change to the line of the slip road from the Vauxhall Lane roundabout where it joins the A21.
Parts of the existing A21 will be retained to provide access to houses, businesses, fields and woodland. A new bridleway for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders will be provided along the whole length of the scheme. A new footbridge will be provided across the Pembury Bypass at Blackhurst Lane, replacing the existing crossing.
When and where is this happening?
The A21 links the Hastings/Bexhill and Tonbridge Wells/Tonbridge conurbations to the M25 and the trunk road network.
A draft Compulsory Purchase Order, Highways Act Orders and an Environmental Statement were published in December 2009 and a public inquiry was due to take place in July 2010. However, the public inquiry was postponed pending the outcome of the government's October 2010 spending review. In the October 2010 spending review announcement the scheme was listed as one of those for which design and planning work would continue so that construction could start in the early years of the next spending review period (post 2015).
On 8 May 2012, the Roads Minister Mike Penning, announced that funding would be provided to develop the A21 Tonbridge to Pembury Dualling scheme, to ensure a "pipeline" of future Highways Agency major infrastructure improvements will be maintained, contributing to future economic growth, and supporting government's National Infrastructure Plan.
A Public Inquiry for the scheme was held between 14 May and 9 July 2013 and the Secretary of State's decision confirming that the scheme will go ahead was announced on 1 May 2014.
The decision letter and the Inspector's report of the Public Inquiry are on the Department for Transport's website at:
The contract to build the scheme was awarded to Balfour Beatty on 9 July 2014.
Some site clearance and advance environmental mitigation work started in September 2014 with the main construction work starting in spring 2015. Construction will take approximately 2 years.
Why is this happening and what will it cost?
The A21 links the Hastings/Bexhill and Tonbridge Wells/Tonbridge conurbations to the M25 and the trunk road network.
Between the M25 and Tonbridge the A21 is a dual 2-lane carriageway standard with grade separated junctions, limited access and no central reserve gaps. Between Tonbridge and Pembury the standard drops to single carriageway with poor horizontal and vertical alignment and many individual accesses to properties, farm fields and woodlands. Approximately half way along the scheme there is a petrol station on the east side and junctions with two minor roads, Dislingbury Road and Pembury Walks, either side of the petrol station. This causes traffic congestion and delays on the A21, particularly due to right turning traffic. There are no footways and verges are either very narrow or non-existent.
This single carriageway section of the A21 experiences severe congestion throughout the day and particularly at peak times and has a poor accident record with an average accident rate (expressed as accidents per million vehicle kilometres) about 20% higher than the default value for a road of this type.
Between Tonbridge and Pembury the A21 passes through a very environmentally sensitive area with landscape, cultural heritage, ecological and settlement issues being key constraints to route improvements. Almost the entire route is within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and being an historic route, largely follows the landform. Further details of the environmental impacts of the scheme and proposed mitigation measures are on the environment page of this website.
The estimated cost of the scheme is in the range between £59.0m and £78.6m with a most likely cost of £69.7m.
How will the scheme be carried out?
Several options were considered before the "Preferred Route" was announced in 2003 which protected the line of the proposed scheme for planning purposes. The proposed scheme broadly follows the line of the existing A21.
At the northern end, there would be a minor change to the line of the slip road from the Vauxhall Lane roundabout. A new two level junction, called a "grade separated" junction, will be provided at Fairthorne roughly half way along the scheme. At the southern end the existing roundabout at separated junction. A new footbridge will be provided across the Pembury Bypass at Blackhurst Lane.
Parts of the existing A21 will be retained to provide access to houses, businesses, fields and woodland. A new bridleway for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders will be provided along the whole length of the scheme.
To help us understand the impacts on the environment for these improvements, we have undertaken an environmental impact assessment of the proposals - this is recorded in an Environmental Statement (ES) and a Non Technical Summary (NTS) leaflet of the ES. The full Environmental Statement, Explanatory Statement and Non Technical Summary leaflet can be viewed on the Publications section of this schemes website. An updated and revised ES will be published before the Public Inquiry.
What are the benefits?
The main objectives of the scheme are to:
- Relieve congestion
- Improve safety for all road users
- Improve journey time reliability
The environmental objectives of the scheme are to:
- Mitigate the impact of the scheme on the AONB.
- Minimise the adverse impact on the RSPB reserve and the Scheduled Ancient Monument.
- Minimise the impact on ancient woodland.
How do I find out more information ?
More information will be posted on this project page as it becomes available. You can subscribe to be alerted when updates are made.
If you have any queries about this project you should contact the Highways Agency Information Line by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 0300 123 5000.
The scheme passes through a very sensitive area in environmental terms with landscape, cultural heritage, ecological and property issues being key constraints to route improvements. The scheme is almost entirely within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ("AONB"). There is a scheduled Ancient Monument (Castle Hill Fort) close to the northern end of the scheme and an RSPB reserve at the south eastern end of the scheme. There are a number of ancient woodland sites to the existing A21.
We have surveyed the local area to assess the effect the scheme will have on the landscape and on plant and animal life. The results of the surveys and the measures we propose for reducing the effect of the scheme are contained in the Envrionmental Statement and are summarised in the Non Technical Summary of the Environmental Statement. The link to these documents can be found on the 'publications' tab.
During construction we will use best practice to safeguard the local environment and will plan the construction works to minimise adverse effects on the local community and the environment.
Ancient Woodland
The scheme entails the unavoidable loss of 9Ha of Ancient Woodland for which 18Ha of translocated and planted woodland will be provided in mitigation. These areas will be managed for 25 years. In addition, 27Ha of existing woodland will be managed for 10 years while the new planting becomes established.
Local Communities and Land Use
Parts of the existing A21 will be retained to provide access to houses, businesses, fields and woodland. Earthmounds and planting will be used to screen the A21 from properties, with noise fences included where they will be effective.
The scheme will require additional land, most of which is good quality arable farmland or woodland. Four houses and one barn will need to be demolished to build the scheme.
A new route for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders will be provided along the length of the scheme, and an additional pedestrian and cycle bridge provided at Blackhurst Lane to facilitate access to Pembury Hospital.
Noise and Vibration
Noise fences and earth mounds with planting will be provided to ensure that all residences currently close to the line of the existing A21 experience a reduction in noise level. Other areas further away from the A21 may experience a negligible increase in noise levels.
Air Quality
The majority of affected residential properties may experience improved local air quality as a result of the scheme proposals and because of the reduced traffic congestion. Air pollutant concentrations at properties near to the road will not exceed the levels that are set to protect human health.
Substantial areas of trees, shrubs and grassland will be planted, with the intention of fitting into the existing pattern of hedgerows, woodlands and pasture fields. Native species that are local to the area will be used where possible. The new junctions and road bridges will initially be intrusive features of the scheme but over time the extensive planting will create effective screening.
Wildlife and Nature Conservation
The Tonbridge to Pembury section of the A21 comprises a variety of habitats including woodland, hedgerows, grassland, streams and ponds.
Protected species found during our surveys include bats, dormice, badgers, breeding birds, great crested newts and reptiles. Although areas of woodland will be lost to the scheme, a wide variety of mitigation measures have been included to limit or compensate these impacts. The project team has consulted with statutory bodies to ensure that with mitigation the long-term effects on most species will be neutral, and the character of the landscape preserved.
The existing water environment will be protected by using drainage balancing and treatment ponds and facilities to contain pollutants. These measures will improve the quality of the water draining from the road system and ensure that there will be no increased risk of flooding in the area.
Historic Environment
The scheme runs through the High Weald an area inhabited by man for at least 6000 years. There is evidence of Iron Age, Roman and Medieval activity in the wider landscape. The High Weald landscape is formed of small fields and woodlands dating from Medieval and Saxon periods and the scheme has been designed to retain this historic form of the landscape.
So that the scheme has no effect on the Castle Hill Iron Age hillfort it will be necessary to demolish a Grade II listed farmhouse and barn. As a condition of the planning consent we will photograph and record the buildings before demolition and the barn will be carefully taken down and re-erected at a historic buildings museum. (The farmhouse itself is not unique and has been altered a lot during its lifetime, so does not warrant re-erection).
Translocation of Woodland
We have coppiced trees along the route so that they are ready for translocation (with woodland soils to retain the seed bank) into the nearby 'receptor areas'. Unfortunately we cannot move every tree as some will not survive, for example those with extensive infestation. In total, 9 hectares of woodland have been coppiced and translocation will begin in early 2015.
Our woodland translocation is one of a combination of woodland creation measures that we will use to create 18.1 hectares of woodland in areas bordering the new dual carriageway. Other woodland creation measures include new planting and natural regeneration, which we will start early 2015.
In addition to the trees we have also been preparing to translocate an earth bank rich in woodland fungi along with hedgerows in the northern end of the scheme.
Ecology Works
Coppicing involved protecting dormice, bats and other wildlife, which included undertaking works during autumn in order to avoid sensitive breeding and hibernating periods.
Dormice - We have installed 150 dormice boxes in areas of 'dormice' vegetation that will be retained, in order to provide resting places for dormice while the new woodland becomes mature. We will install a further 100 dormice boxes as the new woodland takes hold. We have also installed 25 of our 36 bat boxes, with the remaining being installed early 2015.
Reptiles & Amphibians - 165 reptiles and 1 amphibian were trapped under licence from Natural England within the works area where you may have notices low level plastic fencing. These creatures were moved to safe areas close to where they were captured.
Archaeology & Cultural Heritage
Prior to beginning any translocation or construction activities we have undertaken an archaeological watching brief to check for possible areas of interest. We record any significant features that we find and aim to preserve these where possible.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) started on Monday night investigation of a fake press release that caused losses to Whitehaven Coal (ASX: WHC) and its shareholders.
The fake announcement that the $1.2 billion loan of the miner was allegedly cancelled by ANZ Bank was traced to environmental activist Jonathan Moylan who said the loan facility to help Whitecoal, owned by billionaire Nathan Tinkler, build a new mine was pulled due to concerns of the mine's impact on agriculture and the environment.
Mr Moylan and his group, Front Line Action on Coal, who admitted the hoax, said their action was motivated by the anticipated negative impact of the miner's Maules Creek project near Narrabri in New South Wales.
On Monday, 9.65 million Whitehaven shares were traded which is more than twice the 15-day moving average of 4.6 million shares and caused stock prices to tumble down up to 8.8 per cent before trading was halted at 12:45 p.m.
However, Whitehaven shares recovered the losses after the trading halt was lifted and the stocks closed 2 cents down at $3.51 after hitting a low of $3.21
Whitehaven said it was studying if it would launch legal action over the fake press release, while ANZ said it would cooperate with authorities on the probe.
ASIC said stockholders who sold their Whitehaven Coal shares on the basis of the fake press release would not have an automatic right to have their trades cancelled.
The volatility of share prices to speculations has led Middletons Securities to advise Australian investors to avoid five types of investment in 2013. These are:
1. Long-dated fixed interest investments - Rates are almost 2 per cent lower compared to two years ago and would likely fall further. Investors who hold 10-year bonds could be stuck with both low rates and falling asset values if inflation kicks in during the next decade.
2. Traditional media stocks - Except for New s Corp's shares which had gone up by about 40 per cent, changing business models for the delivery of news, entertainment and advertising are threatening the survival of traditional businesses. Gina Rinehart should know this because the value of her shares in Fairfax Media had significantly gone down along with company profits.
3. Engineering and contracting companies - Recent falls in resource prices are indicators that the high growth rate of the past for supplier of services to the mining industry is about to end.
4. Retailers and retail property - Blame it on consumers holding tightly to their purses and competition from online retail. While consumer confidence is expected to improve at some point, weakening of the Australian dollar could cause prices to go up and sales volume to move in the opposite direction.
5. Small resource companies - Again, this development is because of falling commodity prices. To be hit hardest are small, high-cost resources companies and explorers.
Experts added the stocks of many companies would struggle in 2013, but some segments may have better chances of improved revenues, particularly companies that can capture sales from quickly growing economies abroad (read: India and China) or those in countries where there is a quick jolt in spending as these economies dodge the fiscal cliff.
