Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options
Representation ID: 9484
Received: 30/04/2009
Respondent: Affinity Woodland Worker's Co-op
The shops in Hockley are not "of poor quality" they are independent traders that must all meet a demand, or they wouldn't survive.
Where one is considering the community, one of Hockley's problems is the gangs of youths that hang around, especially at night. Offering them high-quality youth facilities is essential. The bigger picture though, is that youth gangs are less of a problem where people know each other. These proposals are going to turn Hockley into a faceless town.
