Regarding 'improvement' proposals to Rochford Market Square I am somewhat astonished to hear that there are funds available to carry out unnecessary work when street lights are being turned off to save money! If it's from a different budget it's still a waste of money. The only 'real' problem in this area is car owners ignoring the white painted road marking which says 'no queing' from the junction with North Street. It is my opinion that this would not occur if the existing road marking was replaced with yellow cross hatched and 'policed'. If I had to choose an option it would be Option 1 primarily because 1) shoppers would still have close access to the shops and 2) It retains a taxi rank that is visible and vital particularly for the disabled.
