Respondent: Battle Town Council

Box 13b: Location of esssential facilities - In order to achieve a reduction in traffic it is also necessary to ensure that enhanced facilities within the town are easily accessible on foot. The proposed relocation of the Martins Oak surgery must satisfy this criterion if the experience of Rye in relocating a town centre practice is not to be repeated. In the absence of any significant vacant spaces within the town centre the Council therefore believes a careful assessment needs to be made of the services which must remain in the town centre and those which could be relocated thus releasing land for other facilities..
