The recently published Census 2011 data suggests to us that we did not need 175 new houses in Hawkwell for our children and grandchildren as the Council suggested to residents when they protested.
Nor perhaps the housing estate developments proposed in the rest of Rochford District.
With the age group 0 to 18 having increased across the whole District by only 186 over 10 years we leave it to you to decide about that.
Even if the birth rate in Rochford District shoots up from 2012 onwards as predicted these youngest children will not need new houses until earliest 2031 which is almost outside of the house building plan period.

£2.1 million of Public money has been poured into R&D costs of Developers which they do not pay for.
You did !!
Surely the Coalition Government should have found some sort of mechanism for this public money to be recouped from the profits made by each developer?
Rochford District Council has spent £2.1m plus over the past 7 years to April 2013 on the Core Strategy.
Within that £350,000 to Consultants.
£1 million came from Council Tax and £1.1 million from Government Grants making £2.1 million overall.
All money paid by you in Taxes.
