Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 23128

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Nigel Edwards

Representation Summary:

I am writing to ask that support is given to the extension to the railway to link up with the Kent and East Sussex Railway (option A). This would benefit the whole community both in terms of tourism, business and bring revenue to the local economy. It would also enable a train service to link up with Bodiam Castle and Tenterden and enable people to visit the area by public transport instead of by car as is the case now and also enhance the benefit of linking up with the main line rail connection at Robertsbridge.

I am writing to ask that support is given to the above railway's application to progress their extension to the railway to link up with the Kent and East Sussex Railway (option A). This would benefit the whole community both in terms of tourism, business and bring revenue to the local economy. It would also enable a train service to link up with Bodiam Castle and Tenterden and enable people to visit the area by public transport instead of by car as is the case now and also enhance the benefit of linking up with the main line rail connection at Robertsbridge (South Eastern Railway). The Rother Valley Railway have made huge progress in recent months and years with the site, please allow them to complete the scheme for everyone's benefit.
