Respondent: Battle Town Council

Box 13d cont: Surveys suggest that less tourist visitors to the town originate from the south than other directions and the majority of those from outlying areas using the town's 'service centre' facilities also arrive from those directions via North Trade Road, London Road, Marley Lane and Powdermill Lane. The pressure on the town centre will therefore continue and the choice of location for additional off-street car parking should reflect that. We believe that this would be consistent with the key strategy aim "to deliver measures that minimise the demand for cross town vehicular traffic". It is unfortunate, of course, that the approval of the Blackfriars development has already compromised this objective.
