Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 4981

Received: 09/03/2009

Respondent: mr Christopher Arnold

Representation Summary:

I am concerned regarding the proposed development of Eldon Way, I would rather the industrial units are left. This is because there is a lack of full time employment in the area (which these units provide). Most are well established companies and therefore stable. If the area were turned over for residential use then this would loose jobs and create more people looking for the same. Whilst it might create a nicer area it does not provide for the longer term prosperity and development of the community.
