Rayleigh is already an overdeveloped town with appalling traffic problems. There are no strategic roads, just the lanes designed for the town as it was decades ago. Rayleigh has a reputation within south Essex as a traffic black spot. The main roads connecting Rayleigh to the rest of essex and into London, e.g. A127 are log jammed and suffer from high levels of pollution, uneconomic and unreliable journey times. Rayleigh has poor facilities for a town of its size, no swimming pool, no cinema, limited shops. Expanding Rayleigh will create more estates totally dependent on cars and roads.
