Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 19108

Received: 09/01/2009

Respondent: Mrs Joan Goldsworthy

Representation Summary:

At the Battle meeting on 24th November I thought the BTC Chairman was too dismissive of the suggestion that more off street parking should be provided in the south east of the town. He suggested the out of town commuters clogging our residential roads did not add economic value to the town. Perhap not but the residents in those once pleasant roads do. Whatever the decision about new railway stations at Wiltings and/or Glyne Gap we need more parking in the area of Battle Station.
