332 Mr & Mrs Jones<br />

Imagine you live in another part <strong>of</strong> England and think, is there anything in Essex that as a tourist I would want to visit' and<br />

you answer your own question. As for leisure, I do not think more nightclubs open 24 hours a day or keep fit centres open<br />

only to those who can afford to use them would be any use to me or the vast number <strong>of</strong> 40 somethings in this area.<br />

Provide facilities along the River Crouch area to encourage tourists and locals to enjoy our open spaces, particularly along<br />

333 Mr & Mrs Hopkins the river areas.<br />

334 Mrs Amey Living where I do the leisure facilities aer fine.<br />

I do not re<strong>all</strong>y see Rochford as a tourist area. Leisure facilities are important though and I would like to see more use made<br />

347 Mr C Rooke<br />

<strong>of</strong> our water based facilities - not just for the 'well to do'.<br />

1. Why was the new leisure centre in Rawreth Lane built without a swimming pool - one is needed in this area. 2. Take<br />

349 Ms C Paine<br />

some Green Belt out <strong>of</strong> agricultural use and do a rare breeds centre/woodland. 3. In Rawreth we need more G.P's.<br />

350 Mr A James I believe the council is doing enough in this area.<br />

352 Cllr Joyce Smith Similar <strong>comments</strong> to 4. If you increase facilities you will spoil the countryside that you want people to visit.<br />

Facilities should be made for leisure and tourism. On the river front at Hullbridge we have no access for use for pleasure. I<br />

would like to suggest making a prominard on river front on Pooles Lane playing field. By making a road in forming a<br />

prominard or park for leisure. The slipway at the end Ferry Road should be made good and longer and a charge should be<br />

made for boats and parking boat trailers by way <strong>of</strong> pay and display machine in car park and trailer to be attached to the<br />

towing vehicle at <strong>all</strong> times suggest fee <strong>of</strong> £10.00 for five hours to cost <strong>of</strong> maintenance <strong>of</strong> slipway. Kendle Park is badly in<br />

353 Mr R J Saward need <strong>of</strong> a rebuild.<br />

What reason would enough people have to want to visit this area, to look at <strong>all</strong> our car sales plots, to see <strong>all</strong> the traffic jams,<br />

or tour the toytown estates. Hunt out Rayleigh Windmill or Dutch Cottage. We don't need any more superstores, car lots,<br />

or huge housing estates, or industrial estates, we need leisure that suits <strong>all</strong> ages, groups and pockets, even Hockley Woods<br />

one has to walk through piles <strong>of</strong> dog poo, maybe a large area to just walk our thousands <strong>of</strong> dogs in the area in would be<br />

354 Mrs Smith<br />

good.<br />

The Parish Council has worked hard and successfully in conjunction with the County Council to improve access to the<br />

footpath network. Our open spaces similarly have been enhanced (not without some local difficilty) to encourage greater<br />

enjoyment and healthy exercise for our community. The river networks throughout the district could provide more leisure<br />

opportunities. The Jubilee Countrypark and the upper reaches <strong>of</strong> the Roach V<strong>all</strong>ey could continue to provide a benefit for<br />

355 Mr K Vingoe<br />

tourism and leisure and the development <strong>of</strong> an environmental centre would be seen as assisting this.<br />

Over-reliance on tourism can spoil the very nature <strong>of</strong> the area that tourism can attract. Various pockets <strong>of</strong> the area are<br />

already tourist centres, eg the reputation <strong>of</strong> Battlesbridge attracts antiques collectors, but it would not be right for, say,<br />

Rochford town centre to become an 'antiques and tea shop' centre. In addition, there is a shortage <strong>of</strong> hotel and B&B<br />

accommodation; what there is is mainly on the corridors to Southend, so any facilities would need to be <strong>of</strong> significant<br />

interest to divert people into the Rochford Council area. A significant investment in publicity would need to go hand-in-hand<br />

356 Mr & Mrs D Dobbin with developing the facilities.<br />

By developing shopping m<strong>all</strong>s and out <strong>of</strong> town areas you are killing <strong>of</strong>f the independent traders, who give good service.<br />

Soon we will have no choice. It will soon be <strong>all</strong> big stores like ASDA, TESCO, SAINSBURYS, nowhere where you can buy<br />

1 screw or specialist clothes etc and get advice at the same time. Make parking free in town centres so the independents<br />

357 Ms V O'M<strong>all</strong>ey<br />

can compete.<br />

New town at Rawreth could have healthcare, leisure and shopping facilities. Nature reserves down the Crouch could attract<br />

358 Mr & Mrs England tourists via A12/A130.
