Representation ID: 27969
Received: 04/05/2011
Respondent: The National Trust Rayleigh Mount Local Committee

Reasons why Rayleigh railway station should be included in the Local List.:
1). The railway had a dramatic effect on the development of Rayleigh, driving the change from a small market town to a large commuter town.
2). The station is used by a huge chunk of the population of Rayleigh every working day, so the appearance of the buildings/platforms has a considerable impact on their perception of the town.
3). The station has already suffered some degradation (e.g. the horrible modern porch outside the main entrance, which is utterly out of keeping). Without some protection, the whole appearance is likely to be gradually changed out of all recognition.
