The Environment
The Borough Planning Officer informs me that during 1972
a number of decisions which have been taken on a regional basis
could have a long term effect on the Borough The Government's
decision on the location of Maplin as a site for a third London
Airport will have a considerable impact on the employment
pattern of the area, creating as it will an area for employment
diverse from the traditional pattern of the Inner London area
The communications into the Airport are likely to pass
close to, if not through the Borough, and for this reason there
has been added interest in the proposed route of Ringway 3 and
the M.16 road line The line for Ringway 3 has been published
for the route between the A 13 to the A.12 and a public meeting
held No final decision as yet has been made concerning the road
and rail links to Maplin, but some information is likely to be
released before long
The creation of major motorways close to or through the
Borough may make increased demands on the accident service
of the local hospitals it could well be that Harold Wood Hospital,
when the expansion plans are complete, will have an accident
unit Being only a mile from the major interchange between the
M.16, Ringway 3, M.12 and A.12 Trunk Road at the junction with
the Brentwood By-pass, makes it well placed to serve this
particular function
This year has marked a great increase in the interest
shown generally by the public in the total environment The
Public Meeting into improvements to A.13 resulted in a very
vocal demand for the officers of the Department of the Environment
to look at possible alternative routes
