Democratic system?

What democratic system?

I often wondered why Rayleigh seems to get the wrong end of the stick from Rochford Council.

Then I read things in leaflets from local sources and councillors which implied Rochford is in one of these elect circles (like Southend) and at present no Rayleigh councillors have a position on this set-up, so it would seem they cannot say much about what is going on concerning housing, roads and planning in and around the Rayleigh area.

Maybe this is why they want to build more housing in congested or green areas, plus a super market-style store like the one Tesco wanted, and now Sainsbury’s is seeking – because it keeps it out of Rochford.

If this is correct, then the best solution is to let our council know what we would like. So, keep objecting by letter or petitions with plenty of signatures and don’t forget to let your local councillor know.

Don’t forget the elections are coming
