Representation Summary:

What are the main issues for car parking? There should be more car parking which is planned with public transport systems (park and ride?). With car ownership and usage continuing to grow it does not make sense to continue not to invest in car parking. In fact this failure to invest is a likely contributing factor in the decline of Bexhill town centre as a shopping destination.

Some early indicators from the Local Action Planning programme have shown a desire for people to have the opportunity to access office facilities locally where they are out-commuters (usually to London) but able to work from home for part of the time. Should this question be part of economic sustainability rather than communications and accessibility?

I would replace this with a theme of Transport and Accessibility.
