I would like to register my absolute horror at your proposed wilful destruction of our greenbelt and green areas in and around Rayleigh.
Not content with saturating Rayleigh with unwanted and "unaffordable housing for first time buyers (unless you can afford £400k+ houses), gridlocked roads in and around Rayleigh,and non-existent infrastructure, you are now proposing additional housing.
The two senior schools can only expand so far unless you proposed further building on their playing fields. Where are the new doctor and dental surgeries?
You blithely gave the go ahead for massive housing estates in Rayleigh and Hullbridge without any new infrastructure in place. Are you really so arrogant that you cannot see the damage you are causing to this area in terms of car pollution and the erosion of greenbelt and farmland?
I have lived here since 1962 and my word haven't you ruined Rayleigh in your rush to assist developers with complete disregard to the residents. There is such a thing as controlled expansion of a small market town but you appear to ignore this logic.
For as long as I can remember "Conservatives" have ruled RDC. Well, you have done a pretty poor job in "conserving" and protecting this area haven't you?
Why is it that both Southend and Basildon are protesting to the Government about the over development of their areas but RDC are enthusiastically forging ahead?
Let's face it, you don't really care about the residents in this area do you? Where is your backbone?
Please don't take the electorate for granted. It was a close run thing in several wards in Rayleigh (including mine) as many people are fed up with being ignored by RDC (many councillors don't live in Rayleigh so are not directly affected).
