There should be more protected areas. All woodlands and rural open areas are what makes this area a pleasant place to
live.
161 Mr S J Benee Yes
What sort of recreational opportunities? I think the balance is about right at present but what development opportunities are
162 Mr & Mrs Livens we talking about.
163 Mr S T Cardwell Any green belt and areas of special importance have to be protected at all costs.
164 Mr I King Yes.
No, you have not got it right. Why constant concern re recreation? Why not leave some land for wild-life, just leave some
165 Mr G Searles
land alone, why can't you?
166 G W Fleming Any rec areas are good providing they are planned to blend into surrounding area grounds are maintained
Recreational opportunities should be increase, especially for the youth of the area, who need easily accessible cheap
recreation. With regard to the right balance between protection and development opportunities, due to the over
168 Ms L Young
development of the area already, any further development would have to be the development of protection.

Green belt is very important but so is the ability for people to move around within the District and into other Districts. This is
very important for workers and businesses. A bypass for the District from Southend to Chelmsford/London is badly needed
if it could be done without any (or very little) accompanying building along th route. Some connections to this road would be
necessary. Perhaps recreational areas - golf, lakes, tennis courts, ice-rink etc could be established along the route.
? Plans for the development of the Thames Gateway Rochford should remain the "green space/lungs" for Southend and
South East Essex. This means pressuring the Country park and coastal recreational areas. This would allow expansion of
the area for activity breaks - walking, horse riding, golf, water sports (including fishing) to complement the nightlife of
Southend.
The green belt should be protected where ever possible. Any unused land can be utilised for allotments - especially allocate
these to schools. The coastline is one asset which is to be valued see 7.
Depends what is ment by recreational opportunities. Large recreational stadium would be wrong in the Roach Valley.
Country pursuits such as equestrian events, treking etc, boating on the Roach, moorings at Stambridge could be
encouraged. Tranquility in a balance however, to much country tourism and it is soon destroyed. The Roach Valley must
be protected.
Areas such as Hockley Woods, Cherry Orchard and Magnolia Nature reserves should be protected and expanded.
Magnolia reserve could be expanded northwards and off road cycle tracks could link this area through Magnolia Road,
Clements Hall, Cherry Orchard and Hockley Woods. This would create a brilliant recreational facility. Coastline should be
protected and nature reserves established in coordination with Essex Wildlife Trust and RSPB.

If you concentrate recreational opportunities in one area, you either have traffic and parking problems or the facilities are
under used because they are too far from potential customers. We need lots of areas spread around the district.
176 Mr R Abbott The council should protect all our green belt, especially between viallages.
Upper Roach Valley, on the map, look a good place to develop for recreation. Rayleigh has no large open public space.
The area between the A127 and the railway from Great Wheatley Road to the old A130 seems a possibility. The
177 Mr J East
development around Kingsley Wood has been, in my view encroached upon without public knowledge.
