Representation Summary:

Why are you not building council housing for local people ? You sold off a lot of the council housing but never replaced it.

We all know affordable housing isnt actually affordable and the current housing list is 12yrs plus, thats even if you qualify to go on there.
Its more like ethnic cleansing of the locals as no one can afford the housing, its all being taken by people from London as they have sold there propertys for loads of money and can afford to buy the housing being built locally, we should not be Londons dumping ground.

Reading through your proposals i have no faith what so ever that the local people will be listened too. Rayleigh and Hullbridge has already sustained mass building, where infrastructure has been completely ignored.

Why has the council made these things so difficult to make comments ? Why havent you created an online form with everything proposed for each area and a space for people to list their comments.

Rayleigh has nothing to offer people when you look at what other councils do for their tax payers.

With crime increasing we have no walk in police station.

My brother in law needed an ambulance and they had been sent from chelmsford and needed directions for southend hospital.

Rayleigh needs a proper small injurys unti that runs 24hrs a day including dental, no one can get nhs dentists or appointments at the doctors now, southend hospital has the longest waiting lists in the country do you honestly think by mass building in this area it will help. Rayleigh desperatly needs a medical center.

The traffic in rayleigh is at a standstill in rush hour a lot of the time, the air pollution is already awful and not meeting guidelines.

Have you seen the state of the roads and pavements they are too small and dangerous for older people.

Leave our greenfield sites and parks alone, rayleigh is in danger of loosing what was good about it, you dont keep our parks looked after, there is no swimming pool in rayleigh, i could never understand why you didnt build a pool behind rayleigh liesure center liads of room less cars on the road as people could walk there and it would be used.

If you need anything medical or liesure you have to travel out of rayleigh, putting more traffic on the roads, its irressponsible to put peoples health and wealthfare after mass building of the wrong sort.

Infustructure has to come before building the people of Rayleigh have already been pushed to their limits over the mill hall now this, its unacceptable and seems to be greed over wealthfare.

Theses builders will be claiming all the government bonuses get the land cheap build the houses and make them so expensive, rayleigh becomes over crowed, the locals are forced out the area as they cannot afford to live here. It has to stop.
