New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 38602

Received: 07/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Lauren Haxell

Representation Summary:

Rayleigh needs more doctor surgeries as many people cannot get appointments to see a doctor for many weeks.
There are not enough nhs dentists in Rayleigh myself and my children have to travel to Hawkwell to see an nhs dentist. Many others have the same issue, two years ago I couldn’t find any local dentists with nhs space and now over 500 new homes have been built in Rayleigh, where are all those people going to go to see a doctor or dentist?
A hospital should be on the future plan for this influx of homes that are proposed.
