Respondent: Lesley Emmett

Representation Summary:

Brentwood does not have the infrastructure to support the impact of such volume of dwellings: There is already up to a 6 week wait to see a GP for a routine appointment. None of the surrounding NHS hospitals are able to meet their national standards for A&E or referral to treatment times There are already issues with parking. The trains are full. There is already planned disruption for the M25 by-pass to occur. The free garden refuse bags have been removed, but the number of visits to the tip have been restricted.

Full text:

I object to the proposals because Brentwood simply does not have the infrastructure to support the impact of the high volume of dwellings and their occupants.

There is already up to a 6 week wait to see a GP for a routine appointment.
I pay privately for a dentist - but nationwide there is a shortage of NHS dentists
None of the surrounding NHS hospitals are able to meet their national standards for A&E or referral to treatment times
There are already issues with parking
The trains are full (and offer a lousy service in comparison to Shenfield)
There is already planned disruption for the M25 by-pass to occur

Devil's crossing is a known hazard which has yet to have the investment put in to fix it let alone compound the problem.

The free garden refuse bags have been removed, but the number of visits to the tip have been restricted.
