Update for 9th December 2020

Incidentally, there are comments relating to the highways situation on the Neighbourhood Plan website. Click the link here, then click on ‘All Comments’

There are also comments about another aspect of the town’s infrastructure … healthcare e.g.

Mr Danny Claridge: I can find no provision in the plan for extra health care facilities, already the new medical centre is showing it is inadequate to handle the current population, both logistically to reach for many and parking spaces insufficient for those that can get there. A restoration of some health facilities to the town centre should be conditional on any further development.

Dr John Cormack There are mentions of health – but very little mention of healthcare. Neighbourhood plans produced elsewhere now also encompass healthcare -see: ‘Neighbourhood Plan – Infrastructure Group Response’

This is of particular importance in South Woodham as the town was built without any plans for provision of primary healthcare and this has remained the ‘Cinderella service.

Alan Harper – Another worry is medical facilities.
