New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021
Representation ID: 41800
Received: 27/08/2021
Respondent: Lesley Summerhayes
I am nothing short of horrified by the extent of these proposals.
Local residents of Great Wakering and Little Wakering
Have seen unprecedented amounts of new build properties over recent years.
This has already had a detrimental impact on local roads due to increase in traffic flow, availability and access to GP services - already grossly over subscribed, and siblings being unable to gain places in the local schools - to name but a few issues!
Local roads and lanes are poorly maintained, and certainly not suitable for the increase in traffic flow which these proposals would have.
I have lived locally all of my life, generations of my family having been born in Wakering and Shoeburyness.
It would appear that the only options left to long term residents is that of moving away, which seems to be the only way of maintaining a degree of village life.
The thought of this is extremely disturbing, but the impact of these radical development projects is already impacting on the mental and physical wellbeing of the local residents.
In despair
