I am very concerned about the plans to build more houses in this area, whilst I can see that more homes are needed our roads are at a crisis point. They become completely gridlocked especially at peak times. I go to Rayleigh three days a week and it takes me 20 minutes to get out of Hockey then another 20 minutes to get through Rayleigh. Whichever route you take you end up sitting in traffic. The same happens if you go the other way through Ashingdon. The doctors do there best but it is rare that you can get an appointment the same day. There are problems with power cuts and the sewage system in Hawkwell. The answer is NOT to build more houses but sort out the infrastructure. Do not destroy the green belt land otherwise this area will just become a congested polluted concrete jungle.
