Representation ID: 22410

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Colin Withey

Representation Summary:

Yes, I agree. This section of railway is of both HERITAGE and TOURISM importance. Whilst completing the western end of the K&ESR, it will provide a better public transport connection to the National Trust's Bodiam Castle and other tourist attractions in the Rother Valley especially in the peak tourist season helping to reduce the road traffic on the A21 and surrounding roads. The new Robertsbridge Junction facilities will also attract tourist business to the village.
