Rayleigh Town Centre Area Action Plan - Issues and Options
4.3.13
Representation ID: 17516
Received: 06/01/2010
Respondent: Disabled Christians Fellowship
We object to pedestrianisation of High Street from Bellingham Lane to Church Street.
Our Committee objects to this proposal, the Chairman is disabled.
It would make it impossible to get to the doctors. Other disadvantages include:
1. Visist to dentist, banks, building society, hairdressers, tea/coffee shops, a butcher and other retail stores.
2. Loss of 'kerbside' parking for everyone.
3. Loss of unloading facilities for goods vehicles.
4. Some premises have their own car parks which can only be accessed from this section.
5. Church Street could not cope, Websters Way would be more congested.
Repeat, please allow it to remain as now.

Are there any other issues that we should be considering?

Loading, or more accurately unloading bays, should be made similar to the lay-by for buses outside the Library.
1. Outside the former 'Post Office' now Postal Sorting Office and
2. Outside 'The Roebuck' Public House (not exclusively for them).
I am sure these would be used extensively, reduce the problem of vehicles parking part way on the footpaths and still allow a lot of cars, smaller vans to pass in both directions at the same time, allowing better flow of traffic.
Eastwood Road
A guard-rail should be placed on the footpath on Eastwood Road outside shops:
Sweet Memories - 2A Eastwood Road
Bliss (Ladies hairdressers) - 2B Eastwood Road
Rita's Separates - 2C Eastwood Road
Quality Kleen Dry Cleaners - 2D Eastwood Road
Near to the pedestrian crossing.
The slope/camber of the pavement is steep towards the road.
