Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 9509

Received: 30/04/2009

Respondent: Mrs Jennifer Abbey

Representation Summary:

Hockley does not need a new town square/centre - it is a village that already has a heart and a centre through its residents and history. This proposal would be the creation of something that has no history or meaning. Hockley is not a new town, however these proposals seem to be aiming at just such a creation. A new square would become a block-paved "ghetto" in which teenagers would hang out causing nuisance.
