Representation Summary:
Lower Rainham has significant traffic problems. When I commuted from Kemsley Paper mill to Rainham I was always stuck at the traffic lights through to Mierscourt Road.The Leigh Academy has resulted in parents parking on Lonsdale drive to meet their children from this school due to insufficient parking nearby. Anything goes wrong on the M2 and this area log jams.
It may be high value allocation for people, but the northern most field (previous pear orchard now meadow) supports rare red shanked carder bees, solitary bees, butteflies and a large white dead nettle and other plants extremely beneficial to pollinators.
