The Council's plans revealed in the Echo yesterday are quite ridiculous. The shops are not drab or dreary. There is a butcher with an excellent display of the best local meat in the district, an excellent card shop, jewelers, backers, iron mongers also selling really good fresh eggs and 2 Banks.
What difference will it make to tourism in the area is you pedestrianise Rochford Square.
Surely it would be better to move the bus stop from the Square. It tourism is being assessed by the RSPB Wallasea Project then surely the tourists will come to see birds on Wallasea Island. They will not need to park in Rochford Square.
Who should the Council serve, the people who shop in Rochford and pay rates and taxes or the wild bird watchers?
