I am writing to voice my concern at Rochford Council’s proposal to build on green belt land and in particular in the above locations.
It is now widely recognised that green space is good for mental well-being as well as for the environment. A small amount of manufactured green space cannot replace the beauty and environmental value of naturally evolved green belt, woodland and open fields.
Rayleigh has already grown from a small market town to a busy and quite densely populated sprawl. It’s virtually impossible to get a doctor’s appointment and traffic congestion is creating pollution levels that will only become more unacceptable if, as the council proposes, population levels continue to grow exponentially.
In response to the council’s request for comment on the proposals, my answer is NO! We do not want more housing, more traffic, more social and infrastructure problems and nor do we want to lose our much loved and well used green belt.
