Representation Summary:

Our surrounding infrastructure just wouldn't cope, the Rayleigh park school was closed and knocked down for more houses, and an already stretched school will be at bursting point with even more houses and more families in this area, please preserve our already large village from being spoilt further, it still is a lovely place to live but it saddens me to say that more houses would ruin Hullbridge forever

I have lived in Hullbridge for all my life and my children are now 4th generation living in Hullbridge, as you will understand i have seen many changes to what was once a quaint and small village which has grown substantially over the years, now i'm am informed that 500 houses are being considered for building in 2015 to run from windermere avenue down to watery lane along the western boundary of hullbridge which i strongly Object to. walking round the Village i speak to lots of people and everyone i speak to are all in agreement that there should not be anymore houses built here, for many i would think writing or filling in this type of document, would be difficult or impossible for many reasons however if you want the real thoughts of our residents here, another meeting at the community centre would give you more of an acurate consensus although im sure that because the opinion at the last meeting was totally against more building in Hullbridge i dont think peoples decisions have changed at all from then, i do understand that more houses are required due to the goverment letting very large numbers of people into the country to live here, but the goverment are not the ones to suffer with having their village ruined by more building. have to admit the thought of even more houses fills me with dread and in-trepidation,because anyone living in Hullbridge will tell you as soon as there is any adverse weather , snow, or just a good winter/spring rain downpour and all the fields and watery lane get flooded , ( Watery Lane gets closed regularly) getting out of ferry road becomes almost impossible because the traffic that travels from Hawkwell , Rochford, Stanbridge, Canewden, Southend, all come via lower road to (cut through) reach their work destinations instead of using the already busy A127 or Eastwood /Rayleigh road, the traffic is so bad that people have to head back home and wait till 11am sometimes midday before trying to reach just Rayleigh high street, i also feel with the development's that have gone on over the past 10 years especially in Rawreth Lane.
