(RSS) The 2008 Housing Needs Survey probably understates the need for the elderly, because it does not include those with a Robertsbridge connection who wish to return to the village because of the range of services that the village provides. Robertsbridge has NO sheltered accommodation, the nearest being Hurst Green. REG support the conclusion in the report that a higher proportion of affordable housing should be used from the smaller sites allocation, but would urge that priority be given to solving the lack of sheltered housing.
