Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 4869

Received: 17/02/2015

Respondent: Mrs Helen Gabell

Representation Summary:

You have not considered the fact that the A127 carries a lot of traffic from the densely commercial areas between Southend, Basildon and London. It is at breaking point already, and has speed restrictions and regular accidents. The c2c rail network is poor, and very overcrowded, and will suffer if they remove the Laindon starter trains, as has been suggested. There is limited to no secondary school provisions along the nearby A127 corridor, so all students will be travelling to schools in the North of the borough anyway, congesting the roads in the process.
