Respondent: Mr Terry Scott

Representation Summary:

Large sites near hockley, hawk well and ashingdon
I am writing to add my voice to my fellows residents concern with the amount of proposed housing around the hockley/hawkwell area.
Developments in recent years has put the B1013 along with the surrounding infrastructure under massive pressure and now again we see potentially large developments adding to this.

Hockley and hawkwell are expanding villages not expanding towns. Much of the roads are build for a different era and cannot cater with today’s volume of traffic.

I have been a resident of Hockley for 25 years so rather than shoehorn in more houses develop the roads and infrastructure to support the housings what are already here. NO MORE DEVELOPMENT PLEASE UNTIL MY DRIVE THROUGH HOCKLEY TAKES MINUTES RATHER THAN HOURS.
