The reasons I do not agree with even more housing in Great & Little Wakering are detailed overleaf.

INFRASTRUCTURE - The village will not be able to cope, it is already impossible to get a GP appointment due to new houses still being built. The roads will not be able to cope with the volume of traffic.

ROAD ACCESS - Only 2 main roads in & out of the village, access is very limited at busy times. If there is an accident which often happens then only one way in and out.

FLOOD PLAINS - If all the local brooks are built on, the whole area will be even more prone to flooding.

CRITICAL INCIDENT - If roads are blocked by the extra traffic, emergency services will not be able to get in and residents will not be able to get out in the event of any evacuation. This will cost lives.

WORKING FROM HOME - More people work from home now. Extra homes, more people, busier village, will impact on quality of life & mental health.

EDUCATION - Not enough school places, also school buses will not be able to accommodate numbers.

INCREASE IN CRIME - No longer will be a village with a local village community.
