Highways
As it is at present the A259 into Little Common always presents a high level of activity and congestion for most of the day the day with traffic jams into Little common as far back as Ashridge Court. With the development of both BX120 and BX 116 one would imagine a virtually permanent traffic jam, let along dramatic increase of air pollution. It is very difficult to cross the A259 quickly and safely bearing in mind the age of the people living in the area, you will be aware that there is not one zebra crossing from Pevensey to Little Common. In the Little common area there is at present little or no facility to park, you could say "why not walk". Again I would refer to the age of the people living in the area (ie the grey vote) even mobility scooters have difficult in parking let alone the increased danger from the dramatic impact of more than unacceptable increase in housing.

At present the Little Common Surgery is working to its max and adding more than unacceptable housing they could not copy. My point here is, at present one has great problems in parking, if at all. Is it proposed to provide a car park. RDC seems not to take into why people have moved into the area of West Bexhill, to the south of Barnhorn Road and the west of Cooden Sea Road. This currently provides an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Most resident living in the area chose to do this and have paid more than the local average housing costs as a result. Developing Spindle would fundamentally and detrimentally affect the environment.

Density

With the density proposed for the Spindlewood development the roads to the exiting to Maple Walk, Meads Road etc. are not suitable for increased traffic, as in several places it only allows a car in one direction at a time, especially with cars parked outside houses. Spindlewood Development is disproportionate to all adjacent roads and property styles and will change the general character of the entire area.

Air Pollution

Most people in the area have moved here to enjoy the quality of air (sea air is very good for you) with your proposal of greatly increasing housing, this would guarantee that with every household bringing at least one if not two additional care, more cars, more pollution, more congestion. The roads (half with potholes) are not capable to handling the greatly increased volume of transport, You probably are not interested to know, I am in my 80s. However for 4 years I was in the R.A.F at RAF Wartling. It was a master Radar station not only protecting, yes, this area, but London also. If the Russian bombers (Cold War) had dropped their nuclear bombs we would not be discussing today's problems. Since being I the RAF, I have lived and worked throughout the world, but in retirement I have returned to this area hoping for peace and tranquillity. Thank you!
