021 Mr P Jermyn There is enough space available on existing industrial units we don't need more, make better use of the existing property.
Mr R Huckett & Ms C Generally speaking, jobs should be in industrial (not residential areas) - who wants to live next door to a factory (no thank
022 Mobbs
you). Good transport links are essential, and the impact on local roads needs looking at.
023 Ms C J Christopher Hate Industrial Estates near residential settlements. Use existing industrial land wherever possible.
No more industry must ever be built unless alongside a railway line to provide a future rail link as traffic average speed in
the UK deteriorates. The Cherry Garden Orchard Lane motortown development is otherwise an ideal method of easing
congestion in Southend/Leigh by putting space consumnig car dealers onto dual carriageways. Lower commercial rates
should be offered to wise usage next to rail connections or dedicated sites as in Cherry Orchard to encourage
024 Mr P Williams
commonsense and employment.
025 Mrs P Clifton Existing industrial estates are suitable for new business. Some remain empty even now.
NO more jobs. It is the large number of jobs already that attract people to the area. More jobs will attract even more people
and make the housing problem even worse. Jobs need to be created in other parts of the country where the economy is not
so robust - this is surely the way to revive impoverished areas and avoid the overcrowding that we are faced with. People
026 Mr A Lantaff
only move to the area to find work - they don't just come for the fun of it.
027 Mr B Fuller Use existing sites
028 Mr J Lickfold Take the MOD land at Shrewsbury Not Green Belt
029 Mr White Exisiting brown field sites - If we are to be encouraging less car travel, jobs need to be local.
Land for new jobs should be around existing settlements. Work sites should be easily accessible from road system. We
030 Mr H May
really need a "north" ring road - Rawreth, Ashingdon, Rochford, Southend East - a new road.
Yes, existing sites should be used. Especially for employment. Traffic congestion is a growing problem in the district .
Public transport routes and locations must be considered when determining employment sites. A model should be prepared
showing existing employment sites and congestion locatoins before considereing new sites. How accurate is the industrial
031 A R Wetton
site records?
The existing sites are not suitable for employment because there are no bus routes to these places therefore people have to
032 J Morley
walk to and fro from the main road.
033 Mr R Balchin Yes so far
034 Mr Hart Yes, use only brown land
035 Mr B Deal Carry on, then Rochford will be an island of retirement homes surrounded by a sea of industrial estates.
036 Mrs P Slade Redeveloping old/existing sites should always be a first option.
There is no point allocating land for jobs if no commitment has been obtained from business to relocate to this area or start
a new venture! Exisiting industrial estates are not suitable for new jobs because of our infrastructure, have you ever tried to
037 Mr A Bawden
et off Temple Farm at 5pm?
As you can see by the trains and roads, the biggest part of the working population work out of the Rochford district. It would
be pointless creating new factory sites as it would only bring in more people to the area, local people never get employed.
038 Mr J Wright
Then the cycle begins again, more houses etc. We have land on existing sites, make better use of it.
Public transport to industrial estates needs to be improved. Unemployed people can not afford a car! Extra sites need to
039 Ms D Quinn
be around or in existing sites.
