I have given up - having spent about 2 hours trying to work out/make sense of how to reply to your huge consultation.

I think this is one of the worst documents I have even seen put out for consultation. Perhaps that is the idea so people do not reply....

Here are my objections :

1. Our ROADS ARE SEVERE and cannot take ANY MORE TRAFFIC - people do not give up their cars and walk/cycle.

1a If you are going to build more houses, build them where they link immediately into the A127/A13 so people are not travelling through our towns and villages to get to the main link roads. The new housing in Hall Road and Hullbridge and Rawreth Lane makes sense - people go directly onto the main roads and away from the towns - I appreciate new houses must be built but keep them close to the main junctions so that the cars get away quickly.
Not stuck in traffic jams in Sutton Road, Ashingdon Road or speeding through villages and roads too heavy with traffic already, Stambridge Road, Brays Lane as an example.

2. Stambridge Infants and Juniors might be a good place to send your children - then they will need to go to SENIOR SCHOOL
SO KING EDMUND SCHOOL - YET MORE TRAFFIC ON THE ASHINGDON ROAD. WHICH CANNOT HANDLE ANY MORE BECAUSE IT IS SEVERE.

3. You mention that Great Stambridge is the most scenic of all the areas in SS4. Yet you are now thinking of adding extra housing, taking away our green belt. I'm sure Hullbridge was a nice quiet village once. We have more picturesque areas of beauty and many cyclists use our roads at the weekends for a bike ride. Where will they go when all the green fields are gone? Just built up areas everywhere? Concrete jungle?

4. THE PEOPLE OF ESSEX DO NOT WANT ROMFORD - THEY WANT ROCHFORD.

5. Stambridge Road CANNOT TAKE ANY MORE TRAFFIC, it was not built for the volume of traffic it currently takes, yet alone more. Our house shakes with the volume of traffic travelling at 60 mph through our village - not a minute goes by without a car now. Speeding 25 years ago nearly killed our son, crossing the road by The Royal Oak, hence the path was extended, 25 years later this road is even more hazardous for all villagers.

6. Planes going over our heads at 2am and 4am and speeding dangerous traffic not to be recommended to new home owners.

WE DO NOT HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO COPE

300+ CALLS TO GET THROUGH TO A DRS SURGERY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SCHOOLS AT CAPACITY.
ROADS SEVERELY CLOGGED UP AND CLASSED AS SEVERE - ONE LORRY UNLOADS IN SUTTON ROAD THE WHOLE OF ROCHFORD
COMES TO A STANDSTILL. - NOT GOOD ENOUGH ROCHFORD DISTRICT COUNCIL.

7. I would have thought it was fairly obvious the sentiment of the people of the area to the proposed Bloors Houses in Oxford Road, how people feel about more houses in this area. We simply cannot cope with any further housing.

8. RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IS HORRENDOUS - TRAVEL ON WEDNESDAY 21 SEPTEMBER FROM WICKFORD TOWN CENTRE TO STAMBRIDGE TOOK AN HOUR - SITTING IN A HOT CAR JUST TRYING TO GET FROM WICKFORD TOWN TO RAWRETH LANE, YOU ONLY NEED TO LOOK AT HULLBRIDGE INTO ROCHFORD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NO NOTICE IS TAKEN OF CAPACITY OF OUR ROADS, TOTAL NIGHTMARE.

9. WE DO NOT WANT TO BECOME A SUBURB OF LONDON.

10 PLEASE RESUBMIT YOUR DOCUMENT QUESTIONS IN SMALLER CHUNKS SO PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE OF IT.
