A discussion and consultation report which I have read and analysed is of poor quality.

All main roads of larger maps of Rayleigh should have names, pages 2, 13, 19, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 45, 48, 51, 55, 58, 60, 71, 73, 75, 77. Other maps on pages 16, 46, 49, 52, 56, 59, 61 are of poor quality and magnifying glasses are required to read descriptions and explanantions.

1.3 Rayleigh Town Centre is already easily accessed what improvements are planned? Audley Mills Surgery already caters for over 19.000 patients, therefore, there is no need for healthcare centre.

2 The Issues To improve appearance of town centre old brickwork should be plastered where possible and a large amount of good quality paint used. There is no need to waste money demolishing and rebuilding sound properties.

There is more café's and restaurants in Rayleigh than in most comparable towns. High Street must be opened for traffic, cars, emergency ambulances, police vehicles, buses, taxis and other vehicles.

Pictures of developments in Cambridge, Greenwich, Norwich cannot apply to Rayleigh. There is no need for multi-storey car park in Rayleigh.

Conclusions - page 67

I agree with para 4.3.25. Para 4.3.26 High Street should not be converted into two-way traffic. Para 4.3.27 existing layout of streets and method of traffic control is appropriate and should not be changed. Page 49 pavements are for pedestrians and not for business usage. I live in England since 1948 and moved to Rayleigh in 1968.
