I feel that these are 100% not the right options to be considered. There are currently not enough facilities for the communities within this area without bringing more families. It is fine saying that new facilities will be included within this development, but that is too little too late. There is currently nowhere for the children to meet without causing disruption to the neighbourhood and we all know that boredom leads to mischief and that sometimes leads to further trouble. It is already evident that we when we ring for the doctor we have to book a week in advance because they are to busy. The Council should be making the facilities the priority not the additional homes. The additional homes will bring additional traffic to what is already a busy area, the road traffic accidents will subsequently increase, and traffic delays for the bottleneck approach will increase. The ever-increasing development leads to the further erosion of surrounding farmland and greenery. The concrete jungle approach for more housing estates does not make Rayleigh a pleasant place to live. The plans mention Community Cohesion, I feel that this is a lip service approach and would ask what are the other plans that the Council have adopted to increase this community cohesion. The additional sites that have been identified for the travelling community is certainly not one that should be considered in this area. I appreciate that we should be supporting them and the community should not be tarred with the brush of the occasional ones that cause local issues. However, statistics are clearly evident that crime may increase within the local areas and unfortunately, as we have seen in the surrounding area of Basildon, there is a tendency for the perimeters and numbers to grow to an uncontrollable level.
