Regarding development at Marley Lane Business Park, the Clerk reported that Rother's Cabinet has the issue of the Marley Lane Road Junction improvement on its 29/10/07 agenda. The Highways Agency (responsible authority) has obtained a cost estimate from Interroute of £755,500 which considerably exceeds reasonable expectations and leaves a significant funding shortfall. The Cabinet will consider whether, should no alternative approach for funding be available, Rother District Council should contribute to the funding gap of up to £205,500 (to be met from the proceeds of Blackfriars) and East Sussex County Council are approached to contribute towards this on a match funding basis.
