RSS Economic role and needs: Every survey from the Local Action Plan to the use of the Mill Site has demonstrated residents' wishes to see more employment opportunities in Robertsbridge. RDC's approach to the Mill Site as being substantially for employment use is strongly supported. RDC have an opportunity to ensure the site becomes a flagship for green businesses.The LDF provides an opportunity to enhance the local economy by supporting local producers and farm shops. This could be done by including a policy of allowing signage for these particular enterprises.
(I do not understand the division of Robertsbridge into geographic areas in terms of economic base.)
The rail link between Robertsbridge and Bodiam would attract visitors to Robertsbridge and support the local economy.
