Boundary changes make sense, Greg

ON the contrary, Greg Barker MP, the proposed boundary change does make sense (article, Rye Observer 23/9/11).

As the Boundary Commission and Cllr Ron Harris both point out, rural Battle, the rural ‘Rother Levels’ and our rural economies have a greater historical and natural affinity to The Weald AONB than to the coastal urban sprawl of Bexhill, Pebsham and Hastings.

My main reservation is whether Paddock Wood really fits in; but then they probably feel we are the ‘furriners’!
