Re: Standard 15/2/2008 front page

Council leader Terry Cutmore is wrong to say 'in Rochford, many people would like to see a central area free from traffic....' I live in Rochford and I would rather see Rochford as it is today - I walk into Rochford and do not find a problem with cars. On occasion when I am not able to walk in I do drive and use the market car park to do my shopping.

I find the shops individual and sell the items I need - which is better than Southend!

The location of Rochford Station to town is ideal - I always feel safe going into town at night.

Please do not pedestrianise Rochford - I am a pedestrian and love Rochford as it is - accessible to cars and people. If you want more people to come to Rochford advertise the market held on Tuesday and suggest people come by train or bus.

Keep Rochford how it is - a great town!
