Respondent: Cllr Susan Prochak

Representation Summary:

RSS:Housing Need: All surveys demonstrate the preference for affordable housing association housing rather than private, especially large houses. The Parish Council are against extensions making smaller affordable dwellings larger.

Robertsbridge is the only large village without its own dedicated accommodation for elderly residents. This has been a concern for some years and RDC have an opportunity to remedy this. An assisted housing scheme should be planned for Robertsbridge.
