Respondent: Mrs karen bailey

Representation Summary:

This area of Rayleigh has had major expansion and new housing. There has been no corresponding increase in roads , public transport or community infrastructure. Accessing healthcare in the region is increasingly difficult ,traffic is a major problem, and until recently train services were overcrowded during rush hour.. New developments should only be considered if the new population are provided with suitable public transport , major retail/ business hubs away from the existing town . Rayleigh cannot support any significant increases in population if we are to provide a healthy , enjoyable town that meets future sustainability and climate needs.
