Representation Summary:

At the current time if you tried to drive through Rayleigh are certain times of the day such as three 5:30 8 o’clock in the morning it is impossible to not hit traffic there is so much traffic and so many cars up both sides of the hill by the train station and coming Back onto the A127. As it is proposed to change some of our greenbelt but also just create new housing in Rayleigh even if this is 100 houses that means roughly around 150 to 200 cars on the street around Rayleigh the infrastructure will not be able to take this and it’ll become a tough place to live.

I would like to voice my opinion on the new plans to build housing within Rochford Council specifically Rayleigh.

We don’t want our town taken over by flats housing and traffic we want to be able to enjoy our town as residents. I opposed to the decision within the next five years of building any new housing on top of the rawreth Estate already coming in.
