I attended a meeting yesterday at Great Wakering Old School to discuss with my local councellor your plans regarding new housing
estates in and around Great Wakering.

I am especially concerned with the proposed development of CFS056 and have the following objections to the proposals.

1) The proposed development is on a flood plain.Where are the proposals to strengthen the sea wall.
2) It is stated that the transport links are good. A bus every one and a half hours from the end of Victoria Drive into Southend via Barling or down to Shoeburyness railway station is not good.
I have seen no proposals to improve this.

Regarding the rest of the proposals:-

1) The Doctors Surgery in Great Wakering is running at full capacity now, It cannot take more patients.Is there a proposal to build another surgery
2) Great Wakering School is full and could not cope, A new school would have to be built just to take all the extra children that would move to these houses with their parents.
Where will this be going.
3) Access to Great Wakering is through narrow country lanes , eg Poynters Lane and Southend Road.
I do not see any proposals to widen these roads. And if they are not widened,building all these homes would result in great congestion.
4) Most of the land is designated agricultural land and should not be build on.
