Since moving to this area of Rawreth Lane a few months ago (on a brownfield site development). I have noticed the severe traffic problems that arise especially at rush hour due to the sheer volume of existing traffic. Indeed it only needs a slight problem on one of the neighbouring roads (ie Watery Lane was closed recently) for the entire area to become gridlocked.
I strongly object to using prime farmland off Rawreth Lane (north of London Road, Rayleigh) (No 144). If we continue to build on our farmland how are we going to support and feed our families in the future?
Why can't we make the already marked brownfield and residential areas available for building houses? Some of these sites will in fact look much better after they're developed (ie land on A1245 garage is a particular eyesore at the moment).
