Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 8685

Received: 20/04/2009

Respondent: Mrs Andrea Mason

Representation Summary:

I am very much against any development which would involve building more houses in Hockley. I moved to Hockley because it feels smaller than Rayleigh and Rochford and has a more village-like feel about it. I do not see the need for more retail or leisure mainly because there is plenty of retail in Rayleigh and leisure facilities are ample in the area. The trains to London are already crowded enough and would not be able to accommodate 200 new householders travelling in the rush hour.
