Rochford Area Action Plan Focussed Changes: Market Square

Respondent: Mr Robert Hurst
1. Do not remove free parking or reduce number of parking spaces in the Square. Reducing the ability for free short term visits to retailers, will in my opinion, have a detrimental effect on trade and may force business closures. We do not want 'charity shops' to replace existing small businesses.
2. Traffic congestion caused by cars queuing to get into the Square is a result of a past change to the entrance/exit. Reverse these.
3. Taxi rank to be on the north side of the 'island' only. This should be in conjunction with 2. above.
