Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 6763

Received: 06/04/2009

Respondent: michelle sinden

Representation Summary:

Option 3.1 is my prefered option as it appears most conducive to having a "village green". I am concerned about the cost of this level of regeneration and funding. I am aware that there is housing planned in the form largely of appartments with some residential properties and I am concerned about the infrastructure that supports this.
The plans appear to be unrealsitic and enormous in scale. Why doesn't the council concentrate on more grounded and achievable targets in connection with Hockley? Converting the pump rooms to a youth center would be an example. A poly clinc is another possibility
