Air Quality

Because of the above traffic the fumes in our house peak during peak hours can be smelt. This is not good for people's health and also our house is covered in exhaust which has to be washed off regularly.

The infrastructure in Rochford is not suitable for any more housing developments. 60 residents have already voiced their opinion on this which is being ignored for the South Street developments.

During peak hours the traffic is at a stand still down South Street, Bradley Way, the roundabout at Whittinghams garage, Sutton Road and other areas. This is also before the development of 600 houses in a mini-town in Hall road shows any impact. Surely you can see we cannot take any more development. Most of these people are also being brought down from London and it is not a local housing problem. The roads are not built for this amount of traffic.

There are not doctors in the area to take more development - I have waited over two weeks to see my doctor. Again before the Hall Road Development kicks in.

Southend General has been on black alert for months and has cancelled all orthopaedic operations for over a year. How will they cope with all this development. The only way to see a dentist now in this area is to pay privately.

Even English Heritage is questioning your developments so why are you still going ahead with all these developments.
