Hockley Area Action Plan Consultation Document

I am writing to express my concerns related to the above document.
As a resident of Hockley any proposals will have an effect on us, however the consultation of those effected has been poor in the extreme.

I have only recently discovered the existence of this document via fellow residents, there has been plenty of chat, but no firm information from our council. I am amazed that those that are voted in to represent us have not chosen to make these proposals common knowledge. All information has come from a private residents leaflet and a public meeting organized by a private resident.

I have today downloaded all the information related to this proposal, however would suggest that I will need rather more time, than that allowed, to comment. The cut off time of 30/4/09 is unreasonable considering the total lack of notice from the council.

I require an extension to the consultation period in order to make a reasoned comment upon the many issues and proposals raised.
