The Access To Hastings study group is not "sitting on the fence" as the Hastings And Bexhill Integrated Transport Partnership (Habit) spokesman says (December 5).
What it has done is prepare the ground for John Prescott to take his decision next spring.
Upgrading the rail line to Ashford and linking up with the Channel Tunnel Rail Link; improving services around Tunbridge Wells; starting a new "Metro" between Hastings and Bexhill; a new Information and Ticketing Strategy; improving the A21 around Tunbridge Wells and south of it; Quality Bus Partnerships - is all this "sitting on the fence"?
The poverty in central Hastings will not be cured by a business park at North Bexhill, some two miles away.
The jobs we need will be best right in the middle of the poor areas, not generating traffic or using wages in bus fares.
