Stop any further new home development in Essex now.

Mass, new home development over the last 20 years has caused most Essex towns and cities to severely suffer from gridlocked roads, high pollution levels, overcrowded hospitals, GP surgeries and schools. Help stop further new home development today to preserve your town or city.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local planning issues are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

You can also petition your local council - you can find out more here:

If you want the UK Government or Parliament to take action, for example to amend the legislation and policy framework which governs planning and development decisions taken by local authorities, you could start a new petition specifically asking for that action.
