Puzzled that the 'holes' within the town centre boundary, will cause difficulties. Why does town centre extend up London Road yet not include surrounded areas south of there -off Endwell and behind Parkhurst for instance.

Generally agree. Can it be pedestrianised?
Not happy with idea of a culture zone.
Would like to know what is meant by culture?
How does the Council define this?

Agree: Aim should also be to improve air quality by reducing the need to bring polluting motor vehicles into Town Centre. Maximise the use of public transport, especially High Speed Rail and Green Access Routes from North Bexhill.

1.Avoid any shared space, retain kerb stones along all roads for those who have visual impairment and retain all present crossing places.
2.Impacts on our town centre/shops/business during these works. Shop owners were affected during the construction of the Bexhill/Hastings Link Road.
3.Wells shoe shop in Sackville Road and Goffins in Western Road: a small piece of Bexhill's history. please retain or conserve their place in the forecourt.
4.Provide drop off/collection point for those with less mobility.
5.Priority for all buses along Sackville road, Devonshire Road, one way St. Leonard Road, one way Endwell Road and Marina.
I make the following comments to Policy BEX12:
1. Avoid any shared space, retain kerb stones along all roads for those who have visual impairment and retain all present crossing places. Please give provision, during the works, for all those who have special needs.
2. Impacts on our town centre, shops and business during these works. Shop owners were affected during the construction of the Bexhill/Hastings Link Road.
3. Wells shoe shop in Sackville Road and Goffins (now closed) in Western Road: a small piece of Bexhill's history. please retain or conserve their place in the forecourt.
4. Provide drop off/collection point for those with less mobility.
5. Priority for all buses along Sackville road, Devonshire Road, one way St. Leonard Road, one way Endwell Road and Marina.

I disagree with the encouraging Large Retailers as this would change the face and character to Bexhill on sea. We do not wish to become like Hastings nor Eastbourne. Individuals that want to frequent such places can go there. Lets keep Bexhill an independent experience please.

The area was developed in the late 19th century and contains a number of listed buildings and a conservation area, which would need to be considered in development proposals.

Archaeology
Please note that for most answers in this section a Red, Amber or Green rating has been assigned. In providing these responses, regard has been had to paragraph 169 of the NPPF. We are of the view that in order to satisfy this part of the NPPF, some of the proposed site allocations should be subject to archaeological assessment prior to the Pre-Submission version of the DaSA being published - these particular sites are identified below. For all the proposed allocations there will be a requirement for the subsequent planning applications to satisfy paragraph 128 of the NPPF.
