Respondent: Robertsbridge Enterprise Group

Agent: Robertsbridge Enterprise Group

Representation Summary:

Robertsbridge houses several aspects of equiculture. This is a good example of an enterprise which because of its diverse locations and aspects, from the obvious stabling and exercise of horses to vets to the manufacture of horse boxes and stables, does not attract separate attention but contributes substantially to the local rural economy. It should be supported and encouraged by RDC particularly in the AONB, as it provides not only employment and a positive contribution to the economy, but also creates increased sport, recreation and tourism opportunities within the rural economy in a sustainable fashion (RSS)
