Mud On Rawreth Lane

June 25, 2019 in News

I recently received complaints from residents about the mud and debris left on the road by contractors working on the Rawreth Lane housing and the development adjacent to the BP station on London Rd. I subsequently contacted them via the council and am pleased to say they were both engaging about making sure this was rectified as soon as possible. Please let me or any of the team know if any further issues occur.

Dear Councillor Newport

I write further to our correspondence on Thursday regarding the loose debris on Rawreth Lane.

Having liaised with the site manager at Wolsey Park, I can confirm that the road is being swept regularly and checked for loose materials. A wheel wash is also in place to clean the wheels of construction vehicles leaving the site.

The site team is continuing to monitor this situation regularly as works progress but should there be any further queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many thanks

Yours sincerely

Maria

Dispatches reports: The Great Housing Scandal

As high house prices and many properties with ‘out of reach’ rental costs, does this mean more Rochford residents will be forced on to the housing register and is this a ticking time bomb for Rochford District Council?   Many areas of public land in the UK was earmarked to fulfil the land shortage needed for new homes.
