Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 9485

Received: 30/04/2009

Respondent: Affinity Woodland Worker's Co-op

Representation Summary:

The building of a large supermarket in Hockley is unnecessary and unwanted.

It will encourage further traffic in the town and make the place look worse!

Assuming that public money will be put into redevelopment, can it at least focus on improving community facilities and providing them where they do not exist. A reinstated bus service (the number 7), a cycle route, subsidised chidren's groups and activities, and a youth hall and park for instance.

New homes must be affordable - there is a dearth of low-cost homes in the area - and designed to be green.
