Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Representation ID: 3928

Received: 17/12/2008

Respondent: Essex Chambers of Commerce

Representation Summary:

Essex Chambers of Commerce considers it vitally important for the efficient movement of goods and services that significant improvements in the existing highway infrastructure will be required during the plan period. The existing levels of congestion are considered to be unacceptable, so further provision is essential to cope with the traffic generation to be created by more housing and employment. In particular, consideration must be given to a better east-west route linking Rochford east to the A130/A127.
