A Town Council for Bexhill
Following the overwhelming support shown by Bexhill residents we are initiating the introduction of a Town Council for Bexhill.
Encourage and support Neighbourhood Plans for all rural areas.
We want to encourage and support all rural Towns and Parishes to complete their own Neighbourhood Plans in order to have a say in their planning future, and provide more support from Rother's Planning Department.
Explore options for a Bexhill Neighbourhood Plan or Plans.
Following the formation of a Bexhill Town Council, we would encourage and support a Neighbourhood Plan for the Town, or plans for the different areas of Bexhill.
Support tourism.
Support tourism across 1066 Country and encourage more employment in the sector, which is already the largest source of jobs in the District.
More affordable homes.
We need to build more affordable homes for local people and their children to live in. Our aspiration is for Rother to build and manage its own housing again.
Emptying the bins.
With a new waste contract, and a new company now collecting the bins, we now insist on a better service, better monitoring and fewer mistakes this time around. We want to simplify the collections and introduce a food waste collection service.
Eco by design.
Houses should be built to designs to include simple environmental efficiencies, such as solar panels, grey water harvesting and efficient insulation and windows. All houses in Rother should be built to these standards.
Electric car charging points.
There are no electric car charging points in Rother. We want to develop plans for charging points in our towns, and incorporate them in new developments.
Improve our surroundings.
We want to improve the appearance our Towns and Villages throughout the District, and influence others to do the same.
