- I found the consultation extremely complicated and confusing.

- The development of land adjoining the Civic Suite (4 storey flats) will hugely impact me, especially as the foundations of my Victorian cottage are not as substantial as more modern properties and my garden will be overlooked 24/7. N.B. this is a CONSERVATION AREA.

- Development of the Civic Suite site COL20 will cause substantial harm to a heritage asset.

- I believe there will be a huge impact on local doctor's surgeries - it is already extremely difficult to get an appointment at Audley Mills Surgery.

- Rayleigh used to be a popular and desirable place to live - now we are one huge traffic jam. More development will only add to this problem.

- The limited consultation with residents is discriminatory to those who are not 'on-line'. I find it very difficult to get information and ask that RDC engage with those of us who do not have emails.

- I LOVE living in Rayleigh but fear for its future if these plans come to fruition.
