I would like to comment on your recent proposals for house building particularly in the Hullbridge area.
Whilst I understand a certain amount of house building must take place most the areas proposed are completely unacceptable.
Small plots and areas such as the site of the Coventry Hill service station and the old car scrap yard and brown field sites are acceptable.
Areas such as green belt and agricultural land is totally unacceptable bearing in mind we already have the housing estates in Lower Road and Rawreth Lane in the process of being built. The new roundabout on the corner of Rawreth Lane and Hullbridge Road is far too small and I’m sure not according to original plans. It’s far too dangerous.
The road infrastructure is already overwhelmed and if any council member had been present last Wednesday 1st September when Watery Lane was closed they would have experienced first hand the congestion caused which is always the case when the rat run is blocked for any reason.
The area cannot tolerate any future builds other than those examples mentioned above. There is no provision for additional schools or medical centre which are already being over run.
The council must find any further development sites within brown site areas or not at all.
