are yours ring road is a priority
By and large, I think you are doing a good job, you have asked for comments and I have done my best, I'm afraid some of
my ideas might be difficult to finance or put into practice, but I do hope lots of others will take a little time to put pen to
002 Mr & Mrs Hawes paper and somewhere along the line there will be an idea worth your consideration

Have to face up to need for new road from Rochford to Rayleigh to relieve Hawkwell, Hockley and Ashingdon. Here's an
idea for Hockley: Behind all the shops along Spa Road (eg First Choice, Somerfields) have land used for individual bits of
parking area. Why not open the land through from Bramerton Road through to Somerfield to create more parking without
taking any other land. Attract more shoppers and would tidy up the scruffy backsides of thses shops ..... like behind Potters.
Look out of Essex at other Counties. Learn from other areas and Councils. The central governemtn should encourage
cross council collaboration.
The biggest problem with Rochford and Hawkwell is that there is only one way in and out. Until that is solved further
developemnt is ridiculous. On the morning of last Friday, 6th October 2006 there was a parked car on Southend Road
facing towards the Anne Boleyn approx. half-way between Tinkers Lane and Sutton Road. This caused a tailback of traffic
for several miles back to the top of Ashingdon Hill. It took 50 minutes for motorists to get from Ashingdon to the Anne
Boleyn - Disgraceful at 8 am. If there was a restricted parking in the rush hours this might help. We also need a much
better bus service. The 7's should all go to Rayleigh and there should be more busses generally for Rochford, Hockley,
Canewdon, Hawkwell and Ashingdon. I would not use my car if I could get to work on time any other way. Ten years ago I
always got to work ok, but since then it has become steadily worse. I also have to take and collect my daughter into
Rayleigh as there is only 1 bus every 30 minutes at some times. Better buses woudl eleviate congestion. It costs 3-4 times
As ever - more police presence to deter violence and vandalism - the vulnerable areas are known and only short term
policies seem to have been taken. Litter is a never ending problem - thank goodness for people like Myra Weir who takes it
upon herself to try to eradicate the problem.
I am concerned at the number of young people hanging around in the streets after dark. They can be intimidating and
discourage people from being out at night. There need to be more youth clubs and youth workers to prevent this nuisance.
Green belt should not be released for building - also most of the communities in this area havent enough or just adequate
transport facilities or road space - more houses mean more cars - the roads couldn't cope with extra travellers by car.
As someone who has suffered badly due to so called planners - (there was a by-law in Rayleigh which prohibited extensions
outside existing build lines, ie extensions upward but not outward) this was a good bylaw, it protected peoples right to light
and sight. For reasons best known to themselves local planners ignored local bylaws and allowed an extension into the
back garden of No 68 thus cutting off my light in my only living room and I have naturally a very poor opinion of any such
planners.
Many side roads are in a bad state of repair, none more so than the south end of Burrows Way, Rayleigh. This is a North
facing hill and can be impassible in a bad weather so needs a good surface. Yesterday I dug a large pailful of dirt out of the
road side kerb where the grass was 6 inches tall! Please get this seen to.
