Agricultural, Forestry and Other Occupational Homes

It has been brought to our notice by the local residents team, that further housing developments have been proposed for another 30 sites to the East of Rayleigh. As if the large development to the West between Rawreth Lane and the London Road is not enough!
Our roads, hospitals, sewerage system, doctor's surgeries, schools etc etc ...simply won't be able to COPE! It is ludicrous. Already the roads in and around Rayleigh get totally grid-locked at busy times.
It's been admitted that the government/county council have no money to improve the infrastructure in the area.
Doesn't anyone realise that the more agricultural farmland that is turned into housing..means more people to feed and less land to provide it?? If ever there is another 'conflict' the whole country will be in peril. It would be a simple matter to stop imports of food and provisions.......

I live opposite the Grove Wood school, and even more cars blocking the roads around here would prevent safe access for emergency vehicles. We have had a few flooding incidents in this area over the past few years, and building more houses on the woodland near the school and agricultural land to the north will only make the situation worse...as this area is right down in a 'dip'.
We trust common sense will prevail and you will reconsider these proposed plans.
