Of all the options this one is going to preserve the village feel of Hockley. People live in Hockley because of this and any other option would ruin this. We do need a better road infrastructure as the main road is too busy at peak times and the roundabout by the Spa needs improving.
We like the intimate feel of Hockley, more houses will create more traffic, more kids so larger class sizes with worse education, more polution and we have no doubt that house prices will be affected which is unfair.
RDC needs to improve what is already here by attracting business to the area and giving residents who have worked hard to live here more for their council tax.
