Frantic callers to the council thought real green sheep were wandering across the busy roundabout. A spokeswoman for West Sussex County Council said: “They were painted bright green so that they were not mistaken for the real thing.
“However, because some motorists have expressed concerns that the sheep are real we have put temporary roadwork barriers around them.” When the flock of woolly munchers first appeared under the flyover on November 24 confused local councillors said they had no idea where they had come from.
West Sussex County Council later revealed the grazers had arrived as part of a roundabout sponsorship scheme to promote the South Downs National Park. The council said a fence will soon be put round the edge to keep the sheep from distracting drivers.

The council put them there and yet councillors had no idea where the sheep came from. I'll bet the voters in that area are really glad they elected councillors who have their fingers on the pulse.
