The railway options should be given a higher priority over road building.
If roads are to be built the priority should be on linking Hastings to the M25. It has been shown in Brighton that regeneration is intimately related to journey times to and from London.
The option (iv) Investment in rail infrastructure is too limited. There are clearly agreed objectives to dual the line between Hasting and Ashford.
Re option (v) It should be recognised that there are already severe capacity constraints on this line already due to the demand.
Re option (viii) also reserve land needed for the upgrading of track between Hasting and Ashford.
