With regards the development plans for Brentwood and surrounding areas, I am hereby objecting most strongly. I object because bit by bit, we are losing out greenbelt. Portion by portion, we are losing our beautiful countryside to bricks, mortar, tarmac and cement. We have a beautiful heritage in this area. A heritage that should be protected from further building. We have beautiful wildlife living in our beautiful countryside. Gradually, the wildlife of this country is being annihilated. We are losing our countryside. We need our open spaces. With the mounting pollution, we need the oxygen only nature can provide. I can't even walk in Brentwood during the summer months as the fumes are so viciously strong. Our health is already suffering, take away anymore open spaces and you take away the green lung of nature. With health, at the moment, there is a six weeks waiting list to see a doctor. We simply haven't the medical resources to support more people moving into the area. The traffic, especially at school times, is chaotic and manic. There is serious danger of frequent accidents. The roads are literally crumbling away, sink holes appearing in lots of places. Subsidence is ruining homes too. There are no more places at school for the already long waiting lists of children. There is no room for more. Laindon has frequently been referred to as the Concrete Jungle, it's heartbreaking to think of that Concrete Jungle sweeping across Essex. I object to the destruction of what should be a country town. We don't want to be a city. We don't want to be part of London. We don't want the crime rates to continue to escalate. We want our town to remain a small town. We want the various areas to be preserved. There is no need to expand to such a horrendous degree. We don't need and we can't cope with such a huge influx of people. This is our town. We want it to remain our town. I object very strongly to this council selling off our land, our heritage. It isn't necessary.
