Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 19426

Received: 11/03/2018

Respondent: Mr. Scott Fisher

Representation Summary:

Brentwoods infrastructure will not cope with the proposed development. The police station has closed, drug taking and mental health are on the increase. I travel to London daily and despite having trouble with my knee can never get a seat. This is due to overcrowding. Without major infrastructure investment, new school, police, transport changes this will not cope with additional housing. This will lead to higher crime, more drug taking and potential issues with our youth.

I reject to these proposals not because of change but due to an infrastructure that will not cope. The police station has closed, drug taking and mental health are on the increase and further children will be affected. This is a danger that we would struggle to reverse. I also travel to London daily and despite having trouble with my knee can never get a seat, even as early as 5.47am, the trains coming out of London this year as well are becoming unsafe. This is due to overcrowding. Without major infrastructure investment, new school, police, transport changes this will not cope with additional housing. This will lead to higher crime, more drug taking and potential issues with our youth.
