This paragraph suggests that nearly 90% of residents do their main food shopping out of town. Does this figure relate to those living within the Parish of Rye (or Rye and Rye Harbour) only or does it include those living in the 'Rye Catchment Area' which is believed to include the residents of surrounding villages (including Camber) - some of whom may live closer to Hastings or Tenterden? If the answer is 'yes' then the statistic cited is misleading.
