Transport, Homes, Infrastructure, Bio-diversity

1. Rayleigh is already an over-developed area. More housing being built in Hall Road and Rawreth lane sites.
2. No infrastructure considerations - utilities, medical resources, roads, open spaces etc.
3. AIR POLLUTION. Air quality is already very poor in our area -queuing traffic - Crown Hill, Daws Heath Road and Castle Road (fir re-cycling centre) etc. More traffic will increase congestion and air pollution even worse.
4. Housing. Garden village, option 3a and 3b supported. Away from existing suburban sprawl. Co-operation with Southend in option 3a and 3b areas would be good for Rochford District and relieve extra pressure on Rayleigh.
5. Environment. Protection of wildlife habitats are being destroyed by over-development. Plant more trees for improved air quality and wildlife.
6. Well designed open spaces / parks for all ages.
7. Housing - use of brownfield sites; re-purpose empty houses / flats unoccupied for more than 2 years.
8. Town centre (Rayleigh). Encourage more independent retailers by offering fair, not exorbitant rents from greedy landlords.
