Given the overall need for increased sustainability, we would agree with the statement that Robertsbridge needs more employment. It would in our view unsustainable for the balance to shift further in favour of commuting. We believe that RDC should promote for reasons of sustainability, further opportunities for employment within the village. We are not aware of any studies that have established the economic loss to a community when the out-commuting figures are high. However the Local Plan Framework, has to address this problem of leakage. (RSS)
