. If there was only one thing you could do in the whole strategy this would be it. Without substantial upgrading of Rother's communications and transport infrastructure all the other plans will wither and die.

. A259 East/West to Brighton and Ashford, A21 North to London. Rail links are the most important links.

. Managing speed is a quality of life issue - and lowering speeds in built up areas and through villages is a must - it is mystifying why this is not already done.

. Until there is a regular, cheap, reliable and ubiquitous bus service, people will opt for other forms of transport. Don't ignore rail for the coastal strip - additional stations and a metro rail service Eastbourne to Hastings would be great.
