The West Horndon Industrial Site is the biggest single area of employment in the borough, many companies are in older buildings on historic rents, and cannot afford to move to modern serviced units with increased rents which will cause unemployment. Unemployment should not be caused by the quest to make money property developing, once gone these jobs will not be replaced, and these plans should be withdrawn at the earliest opportunity. The machinery/plant/infrastructure moves costs would be prohibitive alone.
