Village Appraisals
Robertsbridge is part of the Civil parish of Salehurst & Robertsbridge. The ecclesiastical parish is centred on Salehurst where the Anglican church is but there is a non-conformist church in Ropbertsbridge.
Community Needs for other services - the Parish Council prefers to concentrate any enhancement of recreation/play areas at 'The Clappers Recreation Ground' which is central to and only a short walk from the three settlement areas of our parish, which comprises the three separate settlemenst of Robertsbridge, Northbridge Street and Salehurst.

Development Potential - Robertsbridge has a local need for affordable housing .....
