Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 13689

Received: 23/03/2016

Respondent: Mr Sasha Millwood

Representation Summary:

Crossrail is almost irrelevant, since it will not shorten journey times to Stratford, central London, and beyond. It will continue to be quickest to get the fast trains from Shenfield (even if starting at Brentwood station) and then change at Stratford/Liverpool Street. The main benefit would be for journeys to Harold Wood to Maryland inclusive, destinations of lower relevance to most Brentwood residents.
