Respondent: Mrs Jo Copping
After reading the Spatial Options on the Rochford website I think before you go ahead with any of this proposal you definitely need to look at the infrastructure of the roads, 2 lorries passing each other cannot pass without going on the pavement at times on the Lower Road as it narrows.
Bus services do not exist on the Lower Road up by the breakers yard and beyond, only school buses.
Thought we were suppose to save the planet, but not able to if we all need our cars up this end.
Just needs one hip cup like Watery Lane being closed mostly for flooding etc. and the whole of Hockley , Rayleigh comes to a stand still can’t get in or out of village.
When heavy rain comes the drains at the new housing estate at the bottom of Lower Road/Watery Lane cannot cope with it, the rain comes up onto the road from the drains, no wonder sinkhole not so long ago chaos once again.
All these houses you now want to put in will not help any of us trying to get to work or school, maybe firms and schools can change hours to suit.
I know you can change the rules to suit yourselves especially as I doubt any of you live here, but do give some of us a bit of thought, or is it a done deal and your just going through the motions.
Do we really need another 4000 properties, and how many will be affordable for young families, will we ever be able to see a doctor again or do we get priority over the 12000 new people or perhaps even more that will come with these 4000 houses.
As I live CFS100 I am the only property on that site itself so will be in centre of it all that you decide to do, not against the houses being built, just the amount you want to build.
