The planned Link Road is seen as a means of growth, we are told with more employment house values go up, and then people spend most of their lives paying it off.
There is a need to rethink the way we treat people, technology has replaced the need for labour.
The land north of Bexhill should not be covered with awful houses that developers seem to believe we need.
The Link Road should be a tram line to Crowhurst, with taxis & buses to get people used to not using a car.

The recognition of the Bexhill-Hastings Link Road as the crucial strategic priority for regenerating the economy of Bexhill and Hastings is welcomed. Following the recent confirmation of provisional funding, ESCC is committed to the construction of this scheme from 2013. This will facilitate economic regeneration by reducing congestion within the town, particularly on the A259 and improving access, along with enabling delivery of new housing, employment and supporting existing development.
In addition T1 also recognises that improved connectivity to and from the town can be achieved through other strategic road & rail schemes which is strongly supported by ESCC
