A dream world

IT has come to my notice that Rother District Council may be planning to close the Gorses car park. No doubt they must be looking for ways to save money but I think it will be irresponsible to close the car park near Cooden Station.

Of recent times Cooden Sea Road has become more and more blocked with parked cars, some for the station and some for the hotel.

It would also be silly to lose another bit of greenery if building is allowed on the land.

I also notice that car parking at Little Common will no longer be free.

The council has even used one of the parking positions to house the ticket machine!

This, of course, means that the roads in the area will become more clogged up. With car parking on both sides of Birkdale, especially at school times, a serious accident is bound to happen one day.

The man on the street can see all these problems but the powers that be seem to live in a dream world.
