LETTER: Round and round we go for 30 years
All they agree to is more houses, hence more cars, hence more congestion.
For example, I have to smile (wryly) when I read that Rother District councillor Keven Dixon is driven insane when driving through Battle High Street every morning, for he it was who favoured the B/H Link Road, which is the main cause of traffic congestion through the High Street, and he it was, a few years ago, who favoured the building of 245 dwellings (now on hold) at Blackfriars.
It seems to me that only draconian actions are the answer:

2. Free parking in Rother car parks up to 10am on weekdays.
3. A residents’ parking card, allowing one hour free parking per weekday (cost to residents say £20 p.a with advertising on card covering any extra costs).
But of course, no scheme will work without enforcement, so round and round we go for another 30 years.
