Dear Mr Francois

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing writing to you about the Hockley Area Action Plan Document whether it is the type of thing you get involved in or are even aware of.

However, as a constituent I am very concerned that this document has only come to my and a lot of other residents notice about 10 days ago, having been brought about by a private resident's leaflet campaign.

The deadline for any objections is 30.4.09, and, not having been made aware of it's existence by any kind of notification feel there is insufficient time to address or digest the proposals contained therein.

I would therefore request that you add some weight to trying to extend the consultation period with Rochford Council, thus enabling us, the residents to fully absorb and understand what is proposed.

Thank you for your time.
