This is far too many houses for this site, where the only exit is Foundry Close, opposite a busy tractor/hardware shop on a bend. With potentially 120 cars trying to exit at peak times, the possibility of increased accidents is high, as drivers become impatient. There needs to be major upgrades of those joining the A21, with a mini roundabout at the junction with Station Road. Currently many of us turn left and use Foundry Close to turn right towards Hastings as the speed of traffic through the village makes it very dangerous to turn right from Station Road.
