Good afternoon, probably one of the first emails to object about the new proposals in and around Hockley. After reading the latest proposals for new housing I was completely gobsmacked at the amount that has been put forward.

This area is going to be swamped with so many people, all with more than one car, our doctors, our schools and NHS services are not going to cope. We already have difficulty with getting an appointment at our local doctors and this isn't just my doctor. Getting in and out of Hockley is a nightmare and has been for the last 17 years. This will be gridlocked.

Why are we taking away such beautiful greenbelt areas, what will happen to the wildlife there. There must be a better solution than this - it really needs better consideration.
