1. Introduction, Geography and Population, p11-16; Consider adding the following new paragraphs to set out the context for ‘transport connectivity’:

‘The A27/A259 corridor through the district forms part of the Strategic Road Network (SRN) and is the main east-west road link along the coast. The A21 north of Hastings also forms part of the SRN and provides the main north-south road link from Hastings to Tunbridge Wells and London. Several key junctions and roads on these corridors are either reaching or at capacity, with congestion and delay during peak hours. There are no sections of the Major Road Network in the district.’

‘With varying levels of public transport, active and sustainable travel accessibility across the district, some of the key transport challenges include the need to improve public transport infrastructure, journey times and service frequency’.
