Representation ID: 3773

Respondent: Mrs S Smith
A lot of hard work has gone into this document and as an amateur the preferred options seem good, however the devil is in the detail and we shall see when these proposals are acted on.
However, as a resident of Rayleigh there are a few things that we could do with.
1. A local swimming pool - Clements Hall is miles away - you want less car usage - we are told to exercies more - so a local swimming pool that can be reached by public transport easily from Rayleigh centre.
2. A health centre - in or new town centre to accommodate diagnostic procedures such as x-ray, phlebotomy and consultant visits - to save going to Southend Hospital - Rayleigh clinic is too small and has hardly any parking facilities, but is in an excellent position.
3. Re open local post offices. Local retailers are loosing trade because people go to Rayleigh Town for Post Office business and do their shopping in Rayleigh.
4. Better street lighting.
