Improvements are needed throughout the district. Rochford and Castlepoint districts become completely gridlocked regularly. We need significant changes, which would most easily be solved by creating alternative routes out of the area to ease congestion. Improvements to public transport may also help. For example, there is no bus which goes from Hullbridge to Hockley or Rochford, you have to go into Rayleigh and out again on a different bus. A journey that only takes 5-10 minutes in a car takes much longer and is considerably more difficult by public transport.
