Whilst understanding the need to safeguard valuable minerals to prevent development that would impede future extraction, at this site very little sand has been extracted in over 28 years, and none in the 10 year period of the extension granted in 2016. This would seem to indicate that commercially the sand is not worth extracting.

  • East Sussex County Council Local Transport Plan Rail Development
    East Sussex County Council Local Transport Plan Rail Development Strategy Why do we need a rail strategy? The current Local Transport Plan contains an outline strategy which focusses on the rail network as a local transport system for East Sussex, together with some specific investment targets for the network. However the last free-standing rail strategy for East Sussex was produced in 1990, and it has not been reviewed substantially since then. Important changes in transport policy have taken place in that period, including the far-reaching privatisation of the rail industry. In the context of the continuing uncertainties surrounding the industry, and the Government’s commitment to invest £30bn in rail by 2011, it is now appropriate to develop a new, free-standing rail strategy. Background Two indicators of economic difficulties in East Sussex are insufficient job opportunities for local residents in the coastal areas and an over-reliance on the service sector as a wealth generator. The new rail strategy is aimed at addressing these through improved links to areas where there is a surplus of job opportunities, and, as part of a robust freight strategy for the area, exploring opportunities for freight on rail with the local business community. A key element of the strategy is aimed stimulating the economy of the East Sussex Rural Priority Area through improvements to the Hastings-Rye-Ashford line. The road network in East Sussex is under stress, particularly in the coastal strip where peak spreading is occurring, with important sections of the coastal road network operating at or near design capacity.

  • Report of the Transportation & Highways
    3 Item No. 3 TUNBRIDGE WELLS BOROUGH COUNCIL PUBLIC TRANSPORT LIAISON GROUP – 17 JANUARY 2001 REPORT OF THE TRANSPORTATION & HIGHWAYS SERVICES MANAGER (A) South Central Rail Franchise Replacement Executive summary This report (PTLG/00/01/01) concerns the shadow Strategic Rail Authority’s decision to seek a new franchise agreement for the Connex South Central franchise. FOR INFORMATION Introduction 1) The shadow Strategic Rail Authority announced in 1999 that it wished to negotiate longer replacements, for upto 20 years, of all the rail franchises expiring within the next five years. Within the southeast of England there are two main franchise operations, Connex South Eastern and Connex South Central. It is the Connex South Central franchise that is directly affected by the shadow Strategic Rail Authority’s announcement as it began in May 1996 and is due to end in May 2003. 2) The Connex South Central franchise is operated by Connex Rail Limited (part of Vivendi SA) and runs predominantly commuter services to London from Surrey and Sussex, as well as services to Gatwick and Brighton, and South Coast services between Bournemouth, Brighton, Hastings and Ashford. Within the area of the Connex South Central franchise there is only one line which crosses the Borough of Tunbridge Wells, the Oxted to Uckfield line, and only one station on that line, Ashurst, which lies within the Borough. Replacement franchise aims and objectives 3) The shadow Strategic Rail Authority stated that, in the prequalification process, they would be looking for; • commitment to performance, customer services, innovation, investment and efficiency; • the extent to which extra or earlier investment can be obtained; • the extent to which better performance can be secured; • the extent to which integrated transport measures both within the rail network and between rail and other transport modes can be achieved, including integrated public transport information systems; • affordability and value for money.
