We find options 1 and 2 to be totally unaccepable.
I have lived in Rayleigh all of my life and I now own my own home here and am raising a family with my husband - I want our town to be the best it can be for my daughter as she grows up here. Not over developed, crowded and polluted.
At the moment Rayleigh is constantly grid locked under the weight of traffic both entering the town and passing through to A127. The fumes from cars as you walk around town is unacceptable. I cannot ever get a doctor's appointment as Audley Mills is already over subscribed.
Rochford Council has already allowed large development along the A129 to the west of Rayleigh Town, the major area off Rawreth Lane and now a flats development behind Marks & Spencers. Your proposal for the Mill Hall and The Civic Suite sites have met with considerable opposition from local residents. It is clear how the residents feel - the town cannot handle further development.
Option 3 would be our preferred choice.
The only development suitable for any form of housing in Rayleigh is the Castle Road tip - which is totally inadequate, causes considerable traffic congestion and should have been relocated years ago.
I hope you listen to our concerns,
