Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options
Representation ID: 9129
Received: 10/04/2009
Respondent: Mrs Christine Barrett
My suggestion is that Eastern National Rail should be approached to widen the railway bridge, thereby widening the road at this point and providing a footpath both sides. At present the footpatch is extremely narrow on one side only which presents a problem with old people and their buggies as well as young families with prams and pushchairs. Also when Greenward Academy and other schools use this footpath there is congestion for all foot passengers. By opening up the greensward both sides this will tidy up the area from the litter it now has and provide a clear environment for drivers.
