Hello,


It has been brought to my attention by a colleague who attended the meeting last night about the proposed gypsy site on London Road, Rayleigh.


Why do you want to make us into the next Crays Hill? I appreciate you have a legal obligation to provide 18 gypsy pitches across the borough but why in turn do you want to move the Industrial site near Makro and re-locate it for more housing as well?


It seems more costly to move the industrial estate to London Road as well and who bears the cost? Who wants to drive into Rayleigh to see a Gypsy site, an industrial estate and lots of housing? The London Road is busy enough as it is, and it's impossible to get yourself registered in a new school, doctors or dentists as the town is already over-populated-new housing isn't going to help.


I understand again that you need to build more houses in the town-is a new school going to go along with this?


I'm sure you wouldn't like to have a gypsy site, industrial estate and lots of new housing on your door step, but what would a mear mortal like me know?


I get that you have to do it, but why not spread it about it so we keep some of our nice greenery when driving along the London Road?


Thanks,
