Representation Summary:

We attended a meeting tonight of Hockley residents, organised by a Hockley resident, regarding Rochford Councils planned redevelopment of the village shopping centre and Eldon Way trading estate. Two-thirds of the 400 people present were totally unaware of any such proposals. We feel that you have failed in your responsibilty as a council to nofity the people of Hockley of these proposed plans and should therefore, at the very least, extend the deadline beyond 30 April 2009 in order to give all Hockley residents time to digest the information and respond accordingly.
