STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR GREEN SPACES!
Green spaces all over the district are under threat.Mass house building is planned throughout Rochford district; in Hullbridge, Hockley, Hawkwell, Rochford and Rayleigh. This is despite the fact the infrastructure cannot support such development; that local communities don’t need it and local people are opposed to it.
If these developments go ahead they will not only destroy the green spaces that people and wildlife currently enjoy – they will also destroy the character and quality of life in the areas affected. FOREVER!
Unless we fight to keep our green spaces we will lose them! It’s as simple as that.
The countryside is under threat all over Britain. This excellent film clip was made by people in the Bristol area fighting against the developers

Questions that need an answer....
Developers don’t care about local people or local communities - their only aim is to to make as much profit as possible from the destruction of the green spaces in whatever area they’re allowed to build in.
But:
- Why has the council continued to force the building through when it doesn’t need to?
- Why aren’t Councillors defending the interests of the local people they’re supposed to represent?
So, shouldn’t we start electing Councillors that will stand up for us?
