I think it is scary to think thatmthe urban areas of which attracted myself and others to moving to Brentwood may be filled up with affordable housing, another main road or even traveller sites, and so close to our homes.
In pilgrims hatch you can already hear the motorways very well and so to put another main road near the Brentwood centre would really affect the residents surrounding and of course upset them. I am aware we need more houses but I don't think squeezing them in or around areas that are not yet spoilt is fair, Brentwood is a beautiful place to live and it would be a shame for this to be changed by taking away the urban areas that make Brentwood a great place to live. My main concern I admit is the traveller sites possibly being right underneath my nose in pilgrims hatch, although I have nothing against travellers and know of a few , everyone is different and so is their culture, I think it would bring a higher crime rate to Brentwood, there already recently has been so many burglars and we have been targeted as a town. there are a lot of elderly here and I believe we would all feel uncomfortable. my road has already been talking about it to every neighbour with worry! On the plan you can see the current traveller sites are not anywhere near pilgrims hatch/ main Brentwood area, they are out of the way and near each other, which is good so everyone can have their own communities and live their own cultures. Since hearing about the proposed traveller sites it has really worried me, i just think Brentwood does not need to be spoilt, it's not broken so don't fix it.
