I would like to put forward my comments for the 20 year plan of Rochford.

As a 20 year old, I will be hopefully looking to buy a house within the next 3-5 years, and I would like to be able to buy a house which is sustainable, eco friendly and has working solar panels and similar technology. Personally, I wouldn’t necessarily enjoy living in one of the recent developments which seem to have many problems with the houses and are not sustainable and are extremely expensive to buy for the amount of space you get in my opinion.

Also, I think that something should be done to reduce traffic around Rochford, either by utilising other roads or finding ways to encourage walking/ making walking to places around Rochford easier for the locals.

I would love to continue living in Rochford as it’s where I have grown up, it has good transport links to London which I will require and all of my family are nearby, but at the moment there is not very much in Rochford Square left, and there is very few places to walk through nature, which is a real shame.
