Gt Wakering is a village and you are trying to make it into a town without proper consultation or investment
Great Wakering is Village, if you build these houses the whole character of Great Wakering will change, the end of the village you are trying to 'build' on does not have any infrastructure. To say the developers have to put it in is not enough. Deals are always done by companies building the developments and councils so the building goes ahead come what may.
We are constantly denied any more public transport in Gt Wakering. When the star Lane houses have been built the spare capacity at the school will be used up and the same at the doctors surgery.
You propose to put housing estates up behind peoples back gardens - how can that be right?
Little Wakering Road is totally unsuitable to take anymore traffic and the Catholic Church on the said road is used 5 days a week by Poppets playgroup and would not be useable as a building site access point as suggested.
RDC provide very little for Gt Wakering, yes, we have good rubbish collection but that is were it ends. The sports centre has been closed, yes you are doing a new facility at the local school BUT that will not be big enough for all these new residents as well. You wanted to close the public toilets, more people will need more public facilites.
What is a green belt? If the council can come along and build on it when they fancy what is the point in designating it green belt.
