I have issue with the infrastructure surrounding all the new housing developments in and around Wakering.
Whilst I'm happy for new homes to be built, it appears no thought whatsoever has been given to access roads and schooling . We have 1 primary school in the village, which, as I understand is already at capacity with rather large classes of 30 children per class. Then our allocated upper school is miles away in Rochford. Not only does KES have to take on pupils from the villages it also has ts own in Rochford. The housing development in Rochford is also high so you have a massive increase of children from both rochford and Wakering. Where are all these extra children going to go?
They need to go somewhere? I have not heard of any plans for extra schooling facilities?
If you look at the number of increase in children within this catchment area it could fill a whole school.
Where are these extra children going?
I'd like to see some plans for infrastructure development in the village before even more new developments are allowed to build. This is crazy.
It is looking to us villagers that the council's, are only interested in profits and what they can gain financially from these developments.
I strongly oppose any further new housing developments until other facilities are put in place .
