Representation Summary:

I OBJECT to the removal of plan for Glyne Gap station:

1. This station plan was identified in East Sussex County Council's LTP
2. The station would assist the important modal shift to public transport from cars
3. To remove this provision conflicts with RDC's responsibilities under Climate Change Act 2008 and its policies on carbon reduction and sustainable transport (see Policy SRM 1 and TR2)
4. What is needed is an accessible, turn-up-and-go, affordable, efficient 'metro' service
5. A previous study (2004) showed a 'strong economic case' for the station (based on two - four trains an hour)
