Objections to New Local Plan Rochford/Hawkwell
Living behind Rectory Road and Ashingdon Road I do not believe the road system can deal with anymore cars. We have many dips and holes in the roads and when we have roadworks there are even more traffic jams and delays than normal. Thursdays are a nightmare when we have dustbin day. Any deliveries, removals, broken down cars, I can go on, make for long queues, tailbacks, as the roads are not wide enough for others to pass. How are more cars going to get through the traffic lights under the railway bridge at Rectory Road? With so many houses being considered and being fed into B1013 which already has congestion this should not even be considered.
The land at the back of King Edmund School for a potential 4,447 houses all with at least 2 cars directed onto Ashingdon Rd is ludicrous.
Air quality will be decreased making it not ideal for walking or cycling. It is dangerous now to cycle anywhere but cycle paths which there are not enough of with people riding on the pavements where others are trying to walk.
Infrastructure is not sufficient for people already living here. Try getting an appointment into a doctors surgery! Schools are packed, people get essentials from the small grocery
shops which are not cheap, we need a larger supermarket within walking distance, not one to drive too. Rayleigh is the nearest shopping centre, Rochford has too many charity shop shops and cafes. Where will all the wildlife go? We already have foxes and badgers in our gardens leaving holes and faeces. This part of Essex is already a bottleneck to come in and get out off. Unless we have a better way of getting here things can only go down hill!!
