Representation ID: 853

Received: 14/02/2008

Respondent: Hockley Residents Association

Representation Summary:

HRA members would like to see:

- possible one way system with Great Eastern Road
- linking car parks at rear of shops and possible rear access road
- enhancement at Spa junction, widening the size of the existing roundabout
- improve junction of Spa Road; Station Approach; and Station Road
- converting zebra crossing by the Factory shop into a pelican crossing
- extending the superior pavement surface around all the centre (eg outside library)
