The letter from Mavis Webster states Rochford district must provide for 4,600 dwellings and the council have recommended that Rayleigh take 1,800 (Letters, June 21).

Now the truth. The figure is now 3,700. Already 900 houses have been built.

Do Mrs Webster and her colleagues want another 1,800 built in Rayleigh as well as those houses built here in the intervening months?

Much off the 900 dwellings built in the district have already been built here in Rayleigh.

Mrs Webster, please answer this one.
