I am writng to you with shock and to voice my concerns over the amount of land that is being put forward for land availability, it is obvious to anyone that the person that has said that facilities in Great Wakering are all good has never set foot in the Wakering or surrounding area. We are short on infant and primary school places and have to bus our secondary school children out of the village to Rochford because we have not got a secondary school of our own, public transport ( that is the bus ) are very few and far between, shopping facilities are totally inadaquate for anymore housing as are the roads, CFS057, CFS070, CFS065, CFS011, GF03, CFS056, CFS034, CFS097, are all on a flood plains god forbid we have another flood like 1953! in the light of recent events such as the heavy snowfall the village is virtually cut off. I urge all of the planning committee to look into all of these issues properly and honestly and i feel sure they will come to the same conclusion as myself and a majority of Wakering residents that these plans are ludicrous.
