Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 3500

Received: 26/01/2015

Respondent: Jamie Bottono

Representation Summary:

I note the plan to provide more housing but there needs to be improved infrastructure and appropriate consultation/ surveys undertaken to identify if those areas can accommodate the additional numbers. For instance Shenfield High Street and its environs are already clogged with traffic during rush hour and the current transportation systems cannot cope with increased commuters. Crossrail will also attract additional users to Shenfield and Brentwood which will only add to the problems.
