001 Mr I Haines Existing sites need upgrading - New light industrial units at Stambridge Mills area
Most of existing sites are suitable, some could even be redeveloped getting rid of a lot of hotch potch buildings aain money
would have to be spent and as with housing the property would still have to be affordable but the added benefit would be a
much better working environment, the next or perhaps the first step would be to make sure there are enough employable
002 Mr & Mrs Hawes staff, ie education
Keep jobs local to housing - reduces traffic and emissions. The land is not the problem. What we need are "real" full time,
003 Mr A Cooper
well paid jobs for skilled people. Not part time, min wage jobs in retail warehouses, shops, restaurants
004 Mr M Cubitt Don't build new homes, no need for new jobs. That simple.
I think present sites seem perfectly adequate. The airport should provide more we lost a great many jobs when Rochford
Hospital was closed. Also there are several shops in the area which have closed and never re-opened. It does not seem
005 Mrs P R Byres
we need more areas for businesses when the ones we have got don't all survive.
Yes - utilise existing settlement, especially in the area of Southend airport - lots of space. Also easy access to public
007 Ms P Pemberton transport.
008 Ms S Woolhouse Jobs should be where they can easily be reached by public transport
009 Ms S Nicholls Put existing industrial sites to better use ie utilise empty properties as opposed to building more
010 Mr A Devlin Existing seems to be ok
There is ample opportunity for expansion of existing local industrial sites and consideration should be given to inducements
011 R F Wise
such as lower 'rates' for business premises to encourage full occupation of such sites.
013 Etchells Do not know enough about the subject
Before you need to find land for jobs you need investment, with Southend struggling how can we expect investment in an
out of the way area with poor roads, end of the line status, as affecting Southend. Look on existing industrial estates plenty

of job vacancies, trouble is its too easy not to work.

Is it necessary to use Green Belt land and parks? If we are to reduce the CO2 emissions, work places must be placed near
housing. However, industry must be monitored for noise, fire and explosion. The work must match local requirements, IE
the workers. Possibly not. However, if new estates are to be built, think of road access, parking and public transport.
A proper business park (rather than industrial park) would bring in good money - located close to the airport to make day trip
to the continent easy. Worth reviewing capacity of existing industrial parks to expand as this is preferable to creating new
016 Mr R Fuller
ones.
017 Mr L A G Dunford Progress Road site. Public transport. Yes
All jobs should be in or around housing locations as getting to work is an important as working. Industrial estates are
suitable if they are on the fringe of the housing areas ie Rochford has two industrial estates within walking distance of
018 Mrs Gaunt
housing.
I work on our local Industrial Estate - Imperial Park, Rawreth Lane. Since the houses and apartment adjacent to it has been
built ? Welding have been told to curb their business or move due to noise - Nash Bait are threatened due to the smell -
019 Mrs L Allen
there are plenty of empty units on this site - use these and all the other empty units - Purdy's Industrial site.
Before you worry about jobs, you need to encourage businesses to start up. Not easy in this day and age as there are too
020 Mr & Mrs Appleton many restrictions and regulations. Not necessarily yours but Government as well.
