Poor transport infrastructure serves only to reinforce this part of the Sussex Coast sub-region’s peripherality and limit opportunities to develop suitable business premises. The Link Road is essential in addressing local environmental problems, releasing employment sites and establishing the conditions for regeneration and growth.

The strategy for the Sussex Coast in the South East Plan seeks a step change in the sub-region’s economy to reduce unsustainable out-commuting. Much depends on the delivery of key transport within and beyond the district.
