The road infrastructure for this area is already overburdened and incapable of taking a further increase. For example, queues from and to Rayleigh High Street from the Weir between 8-9am and 5-6pm. The Ridgeway is now used as a ring route to circumvent this problem adding to traffic problems Great Wheatley Road/High Road junction. This junction is also becoming dangerous with cars parking, all day in Great Wheatley Road by commuters to London and workers in Rayleigh. A number of roads in the Rayleigh area are of minimum width ie Springfield Gardens. Main water pressure is very low. A127 already at maximum capacity especially at peak periods ie 6.30-9am and 5-6.30pm
