Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Rochford District Council, I am writing to you regarding the 'Hockley Area Action Plan'.

I would like to take this opportunity to have my views heard a a trader of Hockley.

Village.
I have worked in Hockley for 23 years now so I think I know the area quite well. I would like to see the village stay a village, it looks like you are trying to make it a mini town.

My own business.
I am aware on one of your plans, you are going to move our shops forward. I would not like to be right on the pathway as many of my elderly customers arrive on mobility scooters. Also my own car has its own parking space next to my shop. I also hope none of my loyal customers take their custom elsewhere. This does concern me while all this upheaval is going on. Would you be in a position to compensate.

Local Shops
While Hockley is being demolished, where are all the local shoppers going to shop? Especially the elderly. I hope all the shoppers return to Hockley and don't find it easier to shop elsewhere. Hockley may become a ghost town.

Supermarket
Yes I think Hockley should have a slightly bigger supermarket, with more choice. But please not Tescos. They have a very big store only five minutes away in a car or a no. 18 bus ride.

Traffic congestion
Traffic is going to be a nightmare. Have you been through Hockley between 8-9am and 4-6pm? Having traffic lights and a one way system will not help the congestion. It's already congested now.

Housing
This is another add to congestion to the roads in Hockley. Also the doctors, dentists and schools in Hockley; there is no places available.

Please take all our views into consideration, or have you already made your minds up? We are all trying to make a real honest living at the end of the day.

I look forward to hearing from yourselves soon.
