Respondent: Battle Chamber of Commerce

7.40(b)(ii) - Proposed relocation of Martin's Oak Surgery: Chamber members also considered that the recommendation to replace the Martins Oak surgery to be totally misguided. The current facilities are ideally placed for use by local residents, particularly young families accessing the local schools and the elderly living in assisted accommodation throughout the town. Its location also adds to the economic life of the town as users of the surgery typically use the High Street shops at the same time as visiting the surgery. A new building out of the town centre would be much less accessible and would weaken the economic viability of the town centre.
