026 Mr A Lantaff
As stated earlier please try to protect the 'wild' areas - marshes and woodland. Any recreational developemnt in the Upper
Roach Valley should be in keeping with what is already there - extend the Country Park - more footpaths and bridleways,
riding stables, create ponds/lakes for anglers.
027 Mr B Fuller All remaining landscapes should be left - we have enough development.
Parks and Leisure sites plus all the beaches, that are not kept clean from dogs and litter louts including graffiti which turns
028 Mr J Lickfold
areas into slums.
If only brown field sites were developed this would not be an issue. If making additional recreational facilities are people
029 Mr White
only being encouraged to drive to out of the way places.
We should protect our Eastern shore line (Paglesham etc) as a recreational area with good access off the (new) north -
030 Mr H May
southring road (mentioned in 3 above).
Development opportunities depend on demand. Why create something that will cause a problem elsewhere eg access,
parking, ammenities, litter, fly tipping, vandelism, noise etc. We should concentrate on improving existing and with lessons
031 A R Wetton
learnt consider recreation. I know of parks that are being used for housing ? they are not being used.
032 J Morley Yes
033 Mr R Balchin So far ok
034 Mr Hart Protect what we have
Why not go to the lower Roach around the site of the former mills at Stambridge or is that earmarked for more retirement
035 Mr B Deal
homes.
036 Mrs P Slade Do not know the area.
All of our local environment should be protected, I moved here 20 years ago when Ashingdon almost had a village feel
037 Mr A Bawden
about it, it is now over populated, Ashingdon Road is almost grid locked in the mornings, and things are getting worse!
We still have left some lovely areas, the Crouch Valley for example. The A130 coming back from Rettendon is a lovely
038 Mr J Wright
view which would be wrecked by building on it. Many people have commented to me on how nice that area is.
I fully support the Council's Green Belt policy. I am also keen to preserve the Roach Valley area, having produced a
footpath guide for youth groups several years ago. Whilst I would not advocate access by the public by roads into the park,
I believe greater encouragement could be given to the public by better publicity and good car parks at strategic access
points around the perimeter (eg Cherry Orchard, Bull Lane, Edwards Hall Park, Hockley Woods, Bullwood Hall). Maybe you
040 Mr D Huskisson have already done this, as I am not so active in the area these days.
Need more recreational areas in Rayleigh for youngsters of all ages, i.e. swimming pool, cinema, and youth clubs. There
041 Mr McGee
are many classrooms in Rayleigh that are under used and can be used. (This was done many years ago).
043 Mr M Yorke Wade Encourage companies in the recreational business to invest in the area. Preserve parks and open areas
Play areas for the children, there was a small field near Rochford Station where we used to see small children play football,
044 Mrs R Beaumont they loved it. Then it was sold for the McCarthy flats. Play areas are vital.
People need recreation facilities. Surely good planning can involve housing, industry and commerce, leisure and
045 Mr R Abbott
conservation. Renewal should also be considered - take Hockley High Street - a one horse town if ever I saw one!
Natural growth would not pose a problem - but targetting this area will. E are already impacting the environment - why
046 Mr & Mrs J Cripps import a greater load? Policing to protect just about anything should be a big issue - we cannot even protect a park hut.
048 Mr S Reeves All our 'open spaces' should be protected, and we should be increasing the amount available
049 Mr & Mrs Kitchen Leisure act should be developed where these can be used to protect the environment.
