I welcome someone looking at Hockley but the document does not state where funding will come from, when and how long it will take or any changes to the road system for the 200 additional houses in the centre. where will the Industrial area go? Many of the units have changed from industrial to leasure.
The bus service has been cut and there does not appear to be a reaction to this from Parish/District or Councty Councillors. The traffic lights at Plumberow/greensward Lane require a sensor put back in plumberow as traffic has to sit when nothing is coming from Spa Road, at night. Not enough room at lights for right filter lane from Greensward/Plumberow. You cannot make business move into the village unless they feel that they will make a profit so will incentives be offered. Putting traffic lights instead of the roundabout at the Spa junction could back traffic up even more. Where will the sorting Office go? Has the Health authority said that they are keen for the medical centre to close and has the doctors surgery enough room to cope? Parking would be idea than green square which will only be used by new householders.
From memory councillor Hudson stated at the launch that the residents would get a copy of the action plan but I have not received one and only through HRA did I find out about this site.
