A group of us visited the council offices last month to view the plan for housing.
The Council seem to be hell bent on turning us all into an urban sprawl of "diddy" houses, if those at Mountnessing interchange are anything to go by. and without consideration for lack of infrastructure - ie lack of parking, small roads, surgeries bursting at the seams, lack of school places, clogged high streets, etc.
Shenfield high street is grid locked most of the time and the general consensus is that there seems to be lack of common sense and forethought where planning is concerned, nothing is people friendly or convenient.
With regard to Ingatestone nursery site surely no one will ant to live between a railway and the A12 and by a rubbish tip! If the latter is removed there will be fly tipping everywhere!! All new residents will have cars which will clog up the roads & high streets, & add to lack of parking - traffic is horrendous as it is, & slip roads and roundabout are becoming extremely dangerous.
Rumour has it that Mountnessing school is to be extended - pick up parking will be an absolute nightmare causing traffic jams in & out of Ingatestone, We really want to reserve our village atmosphere. Common sense must prevail!!
