Building for an ageing population is important but not at the expense <strong>of</strong> low cost housing. Whatever the development it<br />
should be around an infrastructure planned before development and just not as an afterthought. Road congestion on<br />
existing roads will not go away in the short term without better planning.<br />
I do actu<strong>all</strong>y think you are doing a very good job under a lot <strong>of</strong> pressure put on you by Government. I am sure you realise<br />
that whatever you decide thousands <strong>of</strong> people have to live in it. Unfortunately because <strong>of</strong> the intolerable pressure put on<br />
them in todays age any help you can give them in better roads and services and open spaces will be appreciated. Not too<br />
happy with car park in <strong>Web</strong>sters Way, total waste <strong>of</strong> money, front brick w<strong>all</strong> is a hazard as you leave the car park - difficult<br />
to see traffic approaching from right. Also 'Rayleigh' sign post in walkway just erected - I know I'm in Rayleigh!<br />
What ever happened to government and EU regulation to cycle lanes. I was amazed to find it has not included H<strong>all</strong> Road<br />
Cock Inn roundabout to Hockley and beyond. Was this only to apply to affluent areas and new developments.<br />

Could the community police <strong>of</strong>ficers and local police get out <strong>of</strong> the care and walk some <strong>of</strong> the roads <strong>of</strong> the main highways.<br />
More prosecution <strong>of</strong> the people who are blighting the area with graffiffi. Better street cleaning. More litter bins.<br />

Infrastructure - if you work on a main road in this local connurbation you will know that it only takes one accident to cause a<br />
snarl-up that brings the whole area to a standstill. Before any consideration <strong>of</strong> encouraging more building, tourism and<br />
leisure activities in the area, we need to get the area ready to cope with it <strong>all</strong>. An accident on one <strong>of</strong> our main roads should<br />
not condemn us <strong>all</strong> to take two and a half hours to go three miles home at the end <strong>of</strong> a working day. Incinerator - nobody<br />
wants one on their patch, but if we keep on building we will soon have to bear the burning <strong>of</strong> rubbish at ground level on<br />
someones doorstep. It might be better to bite the bullet now and start planning for a proper incineration system that<br />
produces electricity from the waste it burns. I am incensed at the way some local authorities are willing to <strong>all</strong>ow waste to be<br />
shipped around the world for someone else to deal with. I trust that our council will be rigorous in ensuring this does not<br />

Government <strong>all</strong>ocated a housing quota for District <strong>of</strong> 4600 by 2021, 900 already built. Planners and Councillors want 90%<strong>of</strong><br />
this in Hockley/Hawkwell/Rayleigh/Ashingdon/Rochford, 10% to go in rural conservation villages, eg Hullbridge, Paglesham<br />
etc, excluding Foulness. But vested interests will oppose much more housing in 'ancient' Rochford and Rayleigh and half <strong>of</strong><br />
Hawkwell is greenbelt. Once can see consequences for the remainder; as "bigger sites" eg Park School etc are now scarce,<br />
will be "infilling" and "brownfield" development - Mr Scrutton described latter as eg 1 house and garden to be "regenerated"<br />
with 2 or more dwellings. One already sees piecemeal building <strong>of</strong> monsters intention<strong>all</strong>y designed out <strong>of</strong> scale with<br />
neighbouring houses, with the object <strong>of</strong> snapping them up at bargain prices once so blighted by such planning permission -<br />
a backdoor version <strong>of</strong> compulsory purchase - so more <strong>of</strong> the same can be built on the remainder. S E Essex is too sm<strong>all</strong> for<br />
a "new town" which would also need massive new road construction. Map <strong>of</strong> Rochfrod is a mass <strong>of</strong> green - your much<br />

prized 9 10ths greenbelt, with 3 "urban" centres roughly corresponding to the above - tiny in comparison. You will have to re<br />
At what point will planning authorities realise that this area doesn't have unlimited resources and roads etc. It seems that<br />
Essex (in the South East) is increasingly the dumping ground for "affordable housing" that seems so trendy at the moment.<br />
I have yet to find any member <strong>of</strong> the public that is pro more housing, can you explain why our elected government and<br />

councils continue to press more and more on use. I thought they represented the peoples views?
