Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 18290

Received: 13/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Gina Raddon

Representation Summary:

I want to strongly object all four options put forward for any houses in Hullbridge.

At the moment there are roughly two hundred homes either to let or buy in the area.

My husband and i have here for forty five years, and watched the village develope. Brought up two children, one born in the village. Have attended the local schools. Myself was on our parent association for over six years.

We do not want our village turned into another Basildon,Pitsea or Canvey. We know all around us, Hockley, Ashingdon,Hawkwell, Daws Heath and Wickford are having the same fight. Why is the south east continually getting bombarded with building. We are villages and want to stay as such.

Where you want to build is flood plain, we have been through flooding over the years, where was any help from our councillors then. Whenever is there any help for Hullbridge!!

Has any one walked along our river bank lately? if they have ,you can see how the bank is falling into the river. We have been told the water levels are rising, and parts of our coast will be under water. Well we have eyes and can see for ourselves. We regularly walk to Battlesbridge so we know the banks are corroding.

Why is there this rush for houses where are the people coming from to fill them ?Why is our population going so fast? Why the need for social housing? We all know the answer, because there is no control on immigration. No-one will talk about this its a taboo subject.

Five hundred houses, three thousand inhabitants? how many cars for our roads?.Have you seen our roads?We still live on an anadopted road like many of Hullbridge residents. Though we all still pay the same banding. Never had a rebate, though we dont have street cleaners, edge cutting, drains cleaned, new lighting or repairs done to the road we do that ourselves.

You have schools to think about, we did have a new senior school some years ago Park. Did'nt last long.Was pulled down, yes you guessed for more houses.Now Swayne Park is stuffed full.

Well i think you know my feelings by now. NO HOUSES FOR HULLBRIDGE.
