Representation Summary:

The railway being developed in Robertsbridge is run by the Rother Valley Railway not Kent and East Sussex (if this is wrong what other information is incorrect?). Has any research been carried out as to what impact this will have on the village? i.e. parking, what else there is to look at in the village? The link to the K&ESR must be several years away and therefore, this cannot be considered the main tourist attraction. Robertsbridge is supposed to be a Medieval village (over 750 years old) but extensive new development means that the old charm has been lost.
