Representation Summary:

I am totally against the plans as they stand unless sustainable infrastructure can be planned at the outset.

PS. This web facility is rubbish. It took me ages to find where and how I submit my comments. It's almost as if you do not want people to make comments.

I attended the open session on 16th Jan in Hockley and was appalled that seemingly no thought has been given to the required changes to infrastructure (roads, schools, medical facilities) to accommodate the potential 7500 additional properties. The only comment made on this is that the respective Depts (someone else's responsibility) will attend to this after the developments have been agreed. This is not acceptable!!
Hockley is already at a frequent standstill with traffic and no additional schools or medical facilities have been added to accommodate the recent new houses let alone 7500 more. Hall Road Development is a good example of additional houses with no sign of additional infrastructure. The planned expansion of Westerings school (presumably to accommodate Hall Road etc) will simply make a bad traffic situation simply intolerable. Please take these feelings into account and make sensible plans that incorporate infrastructure at the beginning and create some credibility with your tax payers.
