I trust that the council will see sense and reject the proposals forALL Gypsy sites

Full text:


I am writing to strongly protest about the proposed 770 new homes to be built in Rayleigh.I therefore wish to register a strong objection to the council housing options-NLR1, NLR2, NLR3,NLR4, NLR5.These proposals will lead to unnecessary loss of green fields,add to an existing traffic problem for the town centre and encourage a merging between Rayleigh and Rawreth.I was also mortified to learn that there are even proposals for Gypsy sites.Does this council really want the same problems that are experienced at Crays Hill.I can assure you that the residents of Rayleigh certainly do not and after all it is the councils job to represent the views and wishes of Rayleigh residents, rather than to meet some politically correct Government target!Rayleighs infrastructure cannot cope with these additional demands and if you insist with this obsession to build on every available piece of green land then you are on your way to ruining,what is,the lovely town of Rayleigh. I trust that the council will see sense and reject the proposals forALL Gypsy sites and to reduce the number of proposed houses.Finally I should be grateful if you could enlighten me as to any proposals for the EON site on the London Road as I am sure you will be considering proposals for housing on that site as well.
