Representation ID: 9180
Received: 27/04/2009
Respondent: Federation of Small Businesses
In trying to change Hockley from a village to a town there would be need to enlarge the road capacity around the centre shopping area, this will envolve more parking in some form and as most of the areas designated for potential development are at this time privately owned the possibility just of costs for any carpark make it every slim in taking place. If the village status is to continue more attactive facilities such as free parking and easy road access will have to be made. On street parking is probably one of the only ways out.
