The Council says that flats are aimed at helping the young to get on the property ladder where in fact over 70% are taken by
pensioners. Old fogies like me have had a lifetime to learn to amuse ourselves. The youngsters of today need more
facilities and guidance that way they will have more fulfillment and the rest of us will benefit too. We need cycle paths so
that parents can take in safety out into the country. I suggest at the end of Bull Lane a footpath goes left to Hockley Woods
following the edge of the woods going towards Southend you can almost get to Southend before you hit any main road. As
Rayleigh has had to forego the swimming pool because of the cost and our summers are getting hotter and longer may I
suggest that a lido would be an acceptable substitute tagged onto the Park School site.
As I have mentioned before about the unsightly messy view out of my window at 12 Bedloes the recreation fields afre
always kept shortly cut while most of the year we have to put up with the odd cut, thus having thick grass all over the paths
of which they just go off and leave. I am sure the contractors are missing us out more than they should (cut backs not here
I'm afraid). Pardon the pun. My compliments for the way you look after the children's play areas. It has great memories for
me as my grandson whom I had most weekends since a toddler is now 14 had great fun and also my other two
grandchildren. I know you do your best with the money that the government allows. Well done, my grandson is now able to
go one better thanks to your skatepark at the old park school. I'm 71 years of age and I went to Rawreth school so my
memories are all around me. Regarding the recycling, I have noticed out of all of us around here there are only the odd few
who care. Could collectors make notes of those that don't bother we pay enough rates attitude?
One thing we don't need is an incinerator! I would not oppose the provision of a prison - the local criminal fraternity might
think twice if they could see where they were going to be locked up when caught. If it was well-designed, it might not be an
unattractive building. There could be perhaps be scope for planning gain. The existing Bullwood Hall prison has not caused
any problems after all, and has been there a very long time. Pressure for new roads should be resisted. Somehow public
transport has to be helped to take a greater role. This will take a few leaps of imagination. Where there is room for it, how
about having a bus shelter with a small mini-shop or cafe, so that waiting for a bus could be a less boring occupation. The
shop supervision could allow comfortable seating for instance, somewhere like Rayleigh High Street would have space for
this kind of kiosk / shelter.
The attached brochure provides a summary of our proposals for a Retirement Village at Cherry Orchard. This development
would assist in meeting the housing needs of the district on a large 'brownfield' site, in accordance with the objectives of the
strategy. Although we are currently working on preparing a planning application for the site, it is a proposal that could
usefully be included in the Site Allocations DPD in due course.
Many of the points made in the draft plan are inappropriate within a 'core strategy' for example: - paragraph 4.11.5
landscaping issues; - paragraph 4.13.2 energy renewal; - section 4.14 compulsory purchase; - paragraph 4.15.7 deals with
some issues in relation to community/leisure/tourism which are development control matters. The draft core strategy
acknowledges that the district road infrastructure is poor. The core strategy is an appropriate vehicle to tackle such issues
and therefore the opportunity should not be missed.
