Re Proposed Hockley Area Action Plan
I am writing this letter to say that I have lived in Hockley for 40 years and the village has really gone down hill. When we first moved here it was a lovely place we had 3 supermarkets, a lovely little Co-op store a big Spar supermarket and Gateway what have we got now, nothing. The Somerfield supermarket in the village seem to charge what they like as they know there is no where else to go and no competition. I am a pensioner living on a low incom, I do not drive so seem to spend most of my time going to Sainsbury's in Southend and fetching and carrying. I think things urgently need to be looked at. We had the Alldays shop which is now shut with prices that most people could not afford but just handy for a newspaper and lottery. How nice it would be for everybody to have a nice Tesco's or some other decent supermarket. I am sure there are hundreds of people in Hockley who totally agree with what I am saying in this letter.
