Having personally attended the recent Future Housing Development Public Meeting 22nd February 2018, at the Old School in Great Wakering, I wish to raise the following objections.

Infrastructure: It is quite obvious to the residents that the current infrastructure is struggling to cope.

Health: The Wakering Medical Centre has insufficient Doctors or parking facilities.

Education: The school is nearly full to bursting with 30 pupils to a class.

Flood Risk: A lot of the area within and surrounding Great Wakering has already been identified by Rochford Council
as at a risk of flooding. In fact the area identified as CFS153 is already a designated flood zone.

Emergency Services: Very limited access and would be a danger to the public.

Services: Even now currently stretched resulting in power cuts in Electricity.

Protected Areas: Careful consideration for the nature reserve in CFS057 not given at public meeting.

Public parking: Heavy traffic regularly causing congestion.

Shops: Existing very limited and under current plans unable to expand in particular the Co-op

Finally I have been a resident of 20 years in October this year and have seen many changes that have gradually eroded the idea that Great Wakering is a village.

This Future Housing Developments / Availability is a step too far.
