001 Mr I Haines Accept and develop with Southend the country side that we have and they have not
I think that we have quite a few "visitors" and I have yet to see one helpful signpost in any other language, ok most don't
002 Mr & Mrs Hawes need it but at least it would show we welcome them
Growth of boating is enormous. Need to develop another large marina facility on south bank of Crouch. Also more "off
003 Mr A Cooper
road" horseriding areas.
004 Mr M Cubitt B&B's in Rayleigh, Hockley - near rail stations. More focus on land marks, eg Dutch Cottage and Rayleigh Mount.
I think there could be more leisure facilities for young people, especially. There is nowhere for them to skate since the
closure of Roller City and the nearest ice skating rink is Chelmsford. More could be made of the history of Rochford,
especially the connection with Anne Boleyn and Rochford Hall. The character of Rochford is being upkept by the style of
005 Mrs P R Byres
buildings but traditional events such as May Day celebrations have dropped off.
Additional swimming pools and playing fields, cinema! Nothing (as far as I am aware) for youth to do. Leisure centres are
overcrowded and too expensive. Personally, I no longer swim due to overcrowding in pool at Clements Hall - the only one
007 Ms P Pemberton available.
Leisure facilities need to be accessible by public transport including in the evening. As a keen walker, I consider that
008 Ms S Woolhouse footpaths should be kept clear of obstructions and should be clearly marked.
010 Mr A Devlin Happy with current levels
011 R F Wise You have the balance right - we have not got the infrastructure to increase further (roads, sewage, transport).
013 Etchells Facilities are already good
These around the only problem is access. No bus route to the new nature reserve of Hall Road or the wetlands at
014 D Hanrahan
Wallasea. After Autumn watch people are interested provide a service be it 1 or 2 an hour see how it works.
015 F A Robinson My only comment on this is; It would be nice to have a large flower garden to sit and walk about in.
Rochford has no entertainment centre for bowling, cinemas, out of town shopping centres, relying on Southend and
016 Mr R Fuller
Basildon instead - this should be addressed.
017 Mr L A G Dunford In Rayleigh we need an affordable community hall. Rayleigh Mill is being priced out of local organization budgets.
018 Mrs Gaunt Why didn't Rayleigh get a swimming pool - No we get houses. This side of Rayleigh has no community centre - pub even.
019 Mrs L Allen More facilities for youngsters. There are far too many of them hanging around and creating problems.
Facilities we need are for young people with nowhere to go, nothing to do, we need meeting places and social places for the
020 Mr & Mrs Appleton young. We don't need tourists we need to look after our young people and our elderly people.
021 Mr P Jermyn If you build more houses/industrial units who is going to want to come as a tourist
Mr R Huckett & Ms C Leisure? Community facilities are very important, as quite often the benefits are not apparent until the facility closed. Area
022 Mobbs
is generally well served on leisure, which is important for our youth.
Traffic volume has increased beyond all belief along the Low Road between Rochford and Battlesbridge as commuters and
trades vehicles use this route to take advantage of the new A130 from Battlesbridge to Chelmsford and beyond whilst trying
to avoid the overcrowded A127 to reach the A130. More people are owrking away from their homes in the Southend area
and working in Chelmsford as an alternative to east of central London. Watery Lane, Rawreth between 17.00 and 18.30
024 Mr P Williams
eastbound each weekday is madness.
026 Mr A Lantaff Current facilities are ok - so just enlarge to cator for the extra users.
