Q1: Yes - Mainly.

Q2: Yes - We feel traffic congestion is getting worse and that new housing should be built within easy access of public transport.

Q3: We do not think it appropriate to build more houses in small rural villages like Blackmore because it will increase road congestion.

Q4: Dunton Garden Suburb would be the ideal location because of all the amenities that will be built within it.

Q5: No - This will only increase traffic on an already congested road unless money is available to widen the road.

Q6: No - People choose to live in our beautiful small villages because of the rural lifestyle and extra housing would ruin this and increase traffic on our narrow country lanes. Brownfield sites within Green Belt would be considered but only as a last resort.

Q7: No - The best approach would be to allocate new sites close to public transport as our roads are already too congested.

Q8: Yes - More retail shops in Brentwood High Street rather than bars and eating places.

Q9: No - Our village has good open space recreational facilities.
