Core Strategy Preferred Approaches

Representation ID: 93

Received: 07/07/2008

Representation Summary:

We object to the Bexhill Hastings Link Road as it will be environmentally damaging in ways that cannot be mitigated and is therefore an unsustainable option.

The 'local transport strategy' should be focussing on sustainable transport options to reduce car use. Hastings has a lower than average level of car ownership and so sustainable options will be far more inclusive and less environmentally damaging.

We support the Pebsham Countryside Park proposal independently of the Bexhill Hastings Link Road proposal and do not believe this should be called mitigation for a road that will ecologically sever the valley it sits in.
