Rochford District Core Strategy Regulation 26 Draft
Representation ID: 169
Received: 20/06/2007
Respondent: Mr Nigel Stevens
The Core Strategy summary document available to residents fails to recognise the absolute imperative of establishing the onus of responsibility on the Local Authority to work with the County Council and Central Government to ensure significant improvements to the road infrastructure. In particuler, an alternative route must be created to enable traffic not requiring to visit Rayleigh to avoid the town completely, as the congestion caused by through-traffic is currently unacceptable and can only get worse still with the development proposals set out in the document.
