324 Mrs Doward
In the corner of Hawkwell where I live, we have a wonderful little haven for wildlife, which not many people know exists. In
Rectory Road, it starts at Thorpe Road, where I live - a muddy unmade lane ?? Scub land, reaching the to the bottom end -
nothing to ? this scrub land reaches across to the Main Road on the left hand side and on the right across as far as the
Christmas Tree Farm and the road to Clements Hall, and backs on to Spencers Park the whole area, containing fields, scrub
and woodland ? important to the local wildlife as it is a barrier from the busy roads and gives them a safe place to hide in
during the day. We have visits in our gardens from badgers and foxes, and squirrels galore and even ? ? deer ? the area.
The badgers and foxes criss cross the lane using both sides of the scrubland in complete safety. Horse riders use the road
to get away from the main roads and to gain access to the bridle way in Spencers Park, dog walkers, cyclists and children
all use the road safely to reach either Spencers or Clements Hall and can continue down the footpath to Windsor Gardens
325 Mr D Elwell All non developed areas should be retained and comments in 4 agreed.
Council should be seeking to protect all areas! Preservation of lower/upper roach valley vital - supports much wildlife.
Increasing recreational opportunities can be good but depends on the nature of the opportunities (car parking? Disturbance
326 Owner/Occupier to wildlife?).
We need to protect more of our old oak trees etc, whether in woodland or not. They are more pleasing to the eye and
provide habitat for our birds and wildlife - the same for hedgerows. Yes, the Upper Roach Valley is a good area for
recreational opportunities. I would like to see a better network of public bridleways across the Rochford District. Cycle
lanes would also be a good outdoor pursuit keeping fit etc. Encourage the councils to provide more open spaces for all
327 Mrs C Taylor
users. Cycle ramps and skate board parks provide outdoor facilities for our youth, to get them outdoors too!
Every attempt should be made to protect our green spaces. This area is rapidly becoming a concrete jungle. Certainly no-
329 Mrs M J Snowdon one should even consider ? Any more ancient woodland.
Steps could be taken to prevent the spread of the mixture of rural/urban landscape where farms etc are taken over and
used to store all sorts of redundant equipment, containers etc. Rural businesses such as garden centres should not be
330 P Mansbridge
allowed to over-develop.
331 Mr A C Cooper Should protect the riverside areas of Crouch.
An area used for recreational purposes is not an ideal wildlife 'flora and fauna' habitat so areas of seclusion from the general
332 Mr & Mrs Jones public are necessary.
Yes, increase recreational opportunities but not in a way that presents 'a blot on the landscape' eg a large complex of
buildings. Most important to retain gaps between settlements otherwise we will have just one large sprawling community
333 Mr & Mrs Hopkins that loses its identity.
I thought green belt was protected, obviously from No. 1 about housing is it really protected? You have done a marvellous
job of creating new parks in the last few years and you are to be congratulated. As residents of this area we are naturally
334 Mrs Amey
against big developments and the balance appears about right.
I feel RDC has a good approach to protection and need to keep its focus on extending areas eg Crouch Valley. Recreation
347 Mr C Rooke
opportunities must be considered with ? Area - no marine growth ? Gold courses - expand country park type ?
If we let the gaps between settlements and the green belt go we'll never get it back. We have to think of future generations.
Already Rawreth is in danger of being swallowed by Wickford from one side and Rayleigh from the other, and Rayleigh is
349 Ms C Paine
merging into Southend.
350 Mr A James I believe on the whole the council is moving in the right direction on this subject.
Would agree that we need to protect the green belt between settlements. Not sure that the Upper Roach Valley is suitable
352 Cllr Joyce Smith for increased recreation as most of it is farmland, poor public transport, lack of facilities that would be needed.
