Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Respondent: Mr Paul Holmberg
I object strongly to all options as they all include the liklihood of a larger supermarket and car park. This is because I believe that the village feel would be under threat and there are enough supermarkets nearby. It will attract extra traffic in to the area causing disruption to locals. This will also badly affect small local business. Surely any supermarket should be more discreet and not fronting directly on to spa road in an imposing manner. How can this possibly add character. I do however agree with public realm improvements but not more residential property.
