With regard to the Proposed Local Plan

The local area is already suffering from overcrowding without adding more houses.
The new builds at Rawreth Lane and Hullbridge have already shown that developments cause major disruptions to the traffic in the area.
The installation of the two new roundabouts caused delays in all directions for many days over several months. This was at the same time as ongoing work on other roads within the area.

The total grid lock in the area when an incident occurs only goes to show that the traffic levels are already at breaking point.
Understandably, when a water main bursts and the road collapses it becomes necessary to close the road. However, the ensuing queues and problems to move around the area again only demonstrate the already heavy density of traffic.

When new homes are built little consideration seems to be given to the needs of the proposed residents. Which schools are the children supposed to go to?
Where will they find doctors and dentists? How will they travel to and from work? Wolsey Park has just one bus which goes along Rawreth Lane only every two hours.

The existing open spaces are relatively small for the existing number of residents. If the proposed sites are to be built on this ratio will be even lower.

The future plans do not show any intention to increase open spaces, build schools or extra leisure facilities.

The road surfaces in the area are dreadful. Some repair work has been done but adjoining areas remain untouched. Increased traffic flow will not improve this situation.
