Good Afternoon,

I am sure you have been inundated with responses following the Spatial Options Papers circulated to residents of Rochford and Wakering. Firstly one has to enquire as to who actually decided to put the plans forward in such a confusing way? It is beyond me but one could assume to avoid any negative responses.

I have lived in Little Wakering for around 28years, when the ‘village’ was indeed a village and over the years we have seen it grow and grow and grow ie more housing, Alexanda Road being one of the first, then Star Lane development, then any little spaces along LWR, then the Red Lion Public house, demolished for housing oh and don’t forget our local petrol station and off licence, demolished for housing and it goes on and on.

The only thing which never alters are our schools and roads. We are at saturation point and that’s before the new builds along Barrow Hall Road are sold, yes there has to be a continuation of new housing but surely there has to be schools, doctors surgeries and recreational things too?

There are many people who are fed up with how Little Wakering is being developed on and like me, would like it stop.
