133 The Occupier<br />
The District is evedently well served with sport leisure facilities, but many <strong>of</strong> the facilities available are unaffordable to about<br />
50% <strong>of</strong> the population. Local tourism development depends on local entrepreneurs being brought on board from the onset.<br />
134 Ms Innes A decent shopping centre in southend. (b) More transport. (c) No. (d) Clean up the areas tourists are likely to visit.<br />
Development <strong>of</strong> tourism is right, but with the development we have already planned and continu<strong>all</strong>y new development under<br />
135 Mr C Blundell<br />
the heading <strong>of</strong> tourism, for what reason should they be interested in Rochford.<br />
136 Mrs G E Chase Somewhere for the youngsters to meet. The state <strong>of</strong> Southend at present is the last place anyone would visit for pleasure.<br />
137 Mr & Mrs Acres I believe you have leisure, tourism and community facilities right.<br />
No swimming pool that is accessible by public transport. Why not a swimming pool in Rayleigh. New sports centre in<br />
138 The Occupier<br />
Rawreth Lane - served by 1 bus that runs half hourly.<br />
139 Ms A Clark Purpose built facilities for teenagers - sm<strong>all</strong> scale, local to housing areas, supervised and safe.<br />
Again more for the younger teenager - youth centres with people who can advise on problems they are having - councilling<br />
140 Mrs J Davies<br />
etc. I think the rest is quite good.<br />
We agree with the idea <strong>of</strong> developing green tourism throughout the district. We see there is a lack <strong>of</strong> appropriate facilities<br />
for local youth in Hockley, Ashingdon and Hawkwell - which loads to other community problems. Has anyone asked the<br />
local young people what facilities they would like to have in their area? Improved local shopping areas in Hockley,<br />
141 Mr & Mrs Sarchet Hawkwell and Ashingdon - to create a 'core'.<br />
A good supermarket in Rochford. Better bus services. Decent hotel(s). More chain restaurants - eg Pizza Express - rather<br />
than always having to go to Southend. A more upmarket Tuesday market to relect local produce and market town history <strong>of</strong><br />
142 D Tilley/R Bhandari Rochford. Move Rochford upmarket in terms <strong>of</strong> businesses present.<br />
How about a set <strong>of</strong> stocks in every village, then anyone cuasing acts <strong>of</strong> vanadlism, paint spraying and other crimes could<br />
spend 2 hours in there and we could <strong>all</strong> throw rotten veg and fruit at them. This should cure them and people would come<br />

to watch. Two birds with one stone.<br />
145 Mr A Lysons There is lots to do here, don't forget wildlife, it needs somewhere too. Places for kids to play and burn <strong>of</strong>f <strong>all</strong> the blubber.<br />
146 A C Barton To find alternatives for evening meeting for young people, not costing a lot, in town centre, preferably.<br />
147 Mr I Rand<strong>all</strong><br />
Airport extension sounds exciting and will bring new jobs and opportunities. With the exception <strong>of</strong> our Tudor history I cannot<br />
see how tourism can be generated unless "tacky" attractions are put in place! Sorry to say "we are not the Cotswolds" etc.<br />
150 Ms N Saunders Leisure etc facilities are fine. Need to make sure there is plenty <strong>of</strong> public transport so people can use them!<br />
I don't think Tourism is an issue but I do think it is necessary for local people to have country parks and leisure facilities (eg<br />
152 Mr S Crowther<br />
sports/water centres) I would be in favour <strong>of</strong> using Green belt land for these and similar social purposes.<br />
153 Mrs S Bradshaw<br />
155 Ms A Boulter<br />
Facilities needed in the area should include the premotion <strong>of</strong> local shops, and local products. There appear to be enough<br />
leisure facilities for the area. Development for green tourism should make use <strong>of</strong> the green belt areas for walking and<br />
studying nature (nature reserves etc) any development needed for this should be in keeping with the environment.<br />
Rochford is labelled as a "historic" town - we need a heritage centre with informatino for vistors. We have perhaps the most<br />
important ship on our doorstep (ie H.M.S. Beagle) - scientific<strong>all</strong>y <strong>of</strong> great interest around the world. Why not make use <strong>of</strong><br />
this - it would bring tourists and money into the area. An excellent example <strong>of</strong> a sm<strong>all</strong> heritage centre is at Witham, in the<br />
High Street.
