Representation Summary:

No more housing in Hullbridge - the village infrastructure will not able to sustain the new housing development at Maylons - any further new housing will created a town Hullbridge will lose it's identify. New housing will not be local people - there is enough in the village. We don't need three plus bedroom housing we need studio flats for our children who can only afford that! More housing is not the answer - damages our delicate and precious environment forever - what a legacy for Rochford Council!!

I strongly object to more housing being build around Hullbridge and boarder with Rawreth. Residents have chosen to live in Hullbridge because it is still a village. New housing estates callously ignores residents wishes. Our roads are not capable of sustaining more traffic due to weight restrictions. Flooding happens regularly where Watery Lane meets Hullbridge Road. Commuter and school runs traffic causes major road congestion - it is often difficult to drive out/into the village at these times. With the uncalled for development at Maylons it will impossible to drive at anytime - Maylons and NO MORE keep the GREEN BELT. It seems that the wishes of Hullbridge residents are and have been ignored by Rochford District Council. Just follow government blindly - no backbone to say NO! That is not leadership that is foolhardy arse-wiping!
