Dereliction in Rye is worse than Bexhill

Carole Woodland of Bexhill has had separate letters printed in both the Bexhill and Rye newspapers (6.4.12), same subject, different wording. In the Rye version she maintains that “Bexhill is blighted as much as Rye”. She accepts that the improvements to the seafront at a cost of £5.6m, but is unhappy with what they are left with, e.g. toilets in Devonshire Square and the empty former cinema.

The complaints about the deplorable state of Rye were raised at the Rye Town meeting, where Rye residents can make their feelings and concerns known to their councillors.

Eight sites were mentioned at this meeting, one is awaiting development by a supermarket and another where a planning application has been submitted.
