Q. If a natural pond showing on the OS in AONB has been filled in, apparently, with the owner of the pond's knowledge (apparently a wild life study was taken). The pond in-fill appears to be taken from another nearby site. No attention seems to have been given to trees etc., Does this need:- 1. Retrospective Planning to be applied for by the owner? 2. A licence etc., by the firm who apparently filled it in? 3. Or, may any resident who has a natural pond, on their land, mapped on the OS fill it in without planning permission etc? If so we will advise our neighbours and other interested parties accordingly. We thank you in anticipation of your answer. (01/01/2017) Q.

Q. I have renewed my designated parking permit for Gibbet Marsh, I did this online only to find I can't renew for 5 days incurring full charges for 2 days as it runs out in 3 days. What happens to people who don't use the internet or aren't computer literate? Before, I could go to the library in Rye and renew it on the day but there is no guidance on RDC website to suggest that this is still possible? Why should I be penalised for inefficiency in the process by sending it by post? I've given my email address and the permit could be sent electronically. (01/03/2017) Q.

Q. Rother Town Council was totally against Pebsham receiving the county's total leachate which has to be toxic but the County has gone against this vote which cannot be right and maybe an area committee would have been on the side of the residents of Pebsham who have constantly been promised that if they agreed to a sewage plant nothing else unpleasant would be our lot. We were not informed of the granting of a permit to do this polluting process - not democratic yet again! (05/03/2017)Q.

Q. Please could you advise me of the revenue you receive for the car park in Little Common. I have seen historically that this could not be broken down but I would like to know how the revenue from the car park compares to the revenue from the business rates, which may I add many are or have struggled to stay open since these parking charges were introduced. Could you also advise the annual costings for maintenance of the Little Common car park, along with figures of car accidents pre and post the charges for this car park. Many thanks. (08/04/2017)Q.

Q. I would like to ask when the Council is going to get a grip on the shambling waste/recycling contractors and instil a bit of service; the recycling in Catsfield Road, Crowhurst, has not been collected for practically a month. Numerous calls and emails have proven fruitless in securing any sort of service and now its impossible to reach the appropriate dept by phone! no doubt they are busy with a tsunami of other complaints!

Q. In advance of the upcoming CGR Stage 2 consultation I have just been looking at the papers issued to the Steering Group's August meeting. I note that in the draft information sheet for electors, the forecast cost figures for the options, the figure for RDC's council tax charge is the same in both option 1 and option 2. I also note that in option 2 for a town council, the precept, appears to include devolved and residual Bexhill Special Expenses and new administration costs. It also appears to appears to include another sum for devolving additional services currently delivered and paid for by all RDC electors, (about £250k probably for public conveniences ). Q.
