Representation Summary:

Pedestrianisation of Rochford will kill the town centre. A few years ago it cost 20p to park in the main car park and the access off back lane made it easy for people to use if there was on room to park in the square. Now it costs 50p (which is relatively expensive if you only want a loaf of bread.If there is no room in the square you have to drive round in a circle so people queue and cause a problem. If it is pedestrianised they won't bother to stop in Rochford at all.
