Residents have been asking a few questions about the new build on Rawreth Lane so I thought I’d give my views and try to answer some questions. There is land allocated for a school. Will it be built?

As landowners eye the potential rewards for putting forward their land for development, we are still faced with a lack of infrastructure to accommodate further housing needs. Have we been blind to the ‘unlocking’ of land in here in the Rochford District with ‘bigger’ infrastructure investments taking place right beneath our noses? Crossrail is due […]
