We have lived for Fifty Three years in Hockley Health and
have seen numerous changes to it in that time but it has
always remained a village- We now feel that this is about to change and if this development goes ahead will be a disaster for all residents who live here. Aylesbury Road, where we live is already congested with traffic, has noise and air pollution, and speeding traffic which constantly raises safety concerns.
In the last four five years the A3400 has been flooding after heavy rain, local people are reporting flooding in their gardens and homes. There needs to be a complete
new drainage structure in the village to help with this Problem Now - put a new development on it would only exacerbate the situation.
We have a wonderful Primary School which is fully
subscribed but no Secondary School provision at all in the
village. We rely on Secondary education providers in
surrounding areas who are mostly over-Subscribed themselves-2- We have no healthcare facilities in the village we are registered at Dorridge surgery, getting an appointment can be difficult. The village itself has two shops for groceries and one butchers shop So most people drive to the local Supermarkets. Hockley Health has no Train Station and limited public transport So there is increased reliance on cars which means yet more pollution. Finally if this development goes ahead it will alter the character of this beloved village, we will lose the wildlife habitats, there will be impacts on the the biodiversity of plants, insects and wild flowers and Lanes we walk down will disappear!
