The local infrastructure is totally lacking and simply cannot cope with any more traffic - Essex are incapable of any basic highway maintenance let alone with coming up with a new plan to ease the traffic. The roads between Rayleigh, Hockley and Southend are gridlocked during both morning and afternoon rush hours.
I wish to object to the proposed sites that have been put forward in the spatial options - NO MORE houses or accommodation should be built.

Our local hospitals/GPs/schools are all full to capacity so any increase in numbers will be a disaster for the local communities.
Our greenbelt needs to be protected - mental health is on the increase and if we build upon our greenbelt and therefore take away our natural nature where people can walk and connect then there will be even more mental health problems.
