Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 9053

Received: 25/04/2009

Respondent: Ms Jean Townsend

Representation Summary:

There is already good retail provision. Some change might be acceptable but it must never drive out the existing useful small, single and independent units which offer cheap and convenient shoe repairs, key cutting, dry cleaning, washing, ironing, tool sharpening, hairdressing etc. These small local services are invaluable for busy people and should never be replaced by national chains.
