New housing in Ashingdon, Hawkwell and Hockley
My husband and I strongly oppose all new housing in the above mentioned areas.
There is a new housing estates being built in Rayleigh, Rettendon Road, which is already causing congestion on the roads.
We moved to Hockley over 10 years ago and traffic in these areas have gotten considerably worse over the years. The main roads feeding these areas are all single lane roads.
For example, coming back from visiting my mother ( Romford area) yesterday, the B1013 was conjested from the Spa, Hockley, because a lorry was trying to unload at Costcutter. Traffic was all the way back to Hambro Hill. It took me 20 minutes to pass the lorry. This happens on almost a daily bases with either bin-lorries, road works or delivery vans.
Bus services in these areas are inadequate at present and would no doubt get worse if these housing developments were approved.
MORE CARS will cause more traffic, especially as today there are usually more than 1 car per household.
There are not enough schools in these areas, not enough doctor surgeries. Southend Hospital cannot cope with the growing population at present, it cannot cope with a larger population in this area.
Our Green Belt areas should NOT be built on.
