213 Mr M Wheeler
Too often housing developments are allowed next door to industrial areas ie Rawreth Lane - housing and industrial estates
should be kept separate.
If you built on wasteland and came up with housing, shopping, hotels and the like somewhere near Shoebury/Foulness this
215 Mr T R Thompson would generate jobs but once again you need infrastructure of road, rail and airport connections.
Around existing settlements on existing industrial estates. Many local industrial estates are in need of redevelopment and
219 Mr J Amey
it's a good opportunity to create jobs in these areas.
The council could consider the airport area and developing the airport further to employ more staff for flights to Europe.
220 Mrs S Clarke
Also Fossetts Way, both these areas have roads going in and out. Develop the potential but not by expanding the land.
Why not improve existing sites before creating new ones? Rochford already has a new site on its way. Perhaps sites at
221 Mr G Hoy
Rayleigh could be improved.
I feel existing industrial estates should be improved to enable new businesses to establish themselves. I do not see the
222 R Luck
need for ever increasing new industrial estates.
223 C Morris Extend industrial sites
The Brook Road industrial estate does not appear to attract more industry. Already there are units of a non-industrial type
224 Mr K S Gee
there. More effort is needed to attract manufactoring companies or computer companies to this estate.
The Council has correctly identified London Southend Airport as one of the main potential generators of new employment
opportunities. It would thus make sense if new housing and other investment wereto take place in areas reasonably related
to the Airport - and to the Rochford Business Park. The land at Hawkwell referred to in secion 1 'housing' would certainly be
225 Mr P Court
appropriate in this respect.
Existing industrial estates are suitable for new jobs and businesses - infrastructure already there. Employment sites need
easy access in an area that is already used as industrial estates - so noise, pollution, traffic etc does not disrupt everyone
226 Mrs A Hill
else.
You should work with Southend Borough to attract businesses into Southend to use existing office space rather than build
new. Kids are being taught vocational qualifications the council should see what jobs they are training for and seek to
227 Mr & Mrs Haskew attract that kind of employment.
228 Ms A Henderson No knowledge of the above.
229 Mr J Robinson Why create more jobs here. This is what makes the whole strategy ridiculous. People will go where the jobs are.
Use some existing industrial sites with consideration to renovate and update existing sites improve layout and cosmetic look
230 V G Crick
eg Brook Road.
There obviously needs to be a road infrastructure and/or public transport. Sites are dependant on the type of business,
small units could probably be added to existing estates or old units. Could Foulness Island be developed or part of it away
231 Mr & Mrs Walker from the military area?
232 Mrs A Robinson Whilst jobs are essential to any expansion ? the cost of business site, and only possiblity expansion.
If existing sitse are not suitable they must be developed before building any new ones. Public transport is critical to work
233 Mr G Congram places. Any new development must have trains and busses available. Car parking must be discouraged.
There is very little industry left in this country let alone in the district. Most of the existing factory sites have 30% empty.
We should be trying to encourage London businesses to decentralize. Why is it that companies like CE Heath and the
234 Mr J T Dorrell
Customs & Excise moved from the area? Was it too expensive?
Old trading estates should be used for housing and new trading estates should be relocated to land adjacent to our major
235 L W Lewis
trunk roads to minimise lorries using unsuitable minor roads.
