There are many redundant sites within Rye - Freda Gardham site, Lower School site, Rock Channel, South Undercliff, Old Garage site, library site , the Old Monastry and a number of others. These are in need of proper plans for their future. Talk about extra retail space and commercial space in the town, is not helpful if these sites remain empty or underutilised. These need a public debate to ensure that the town will benefit. The Lower School site is allocated for housing in the local plan, but there is discussion about Tesco occupying this land.
