NEW HOUSING FIGURES REVEALED FOR ROCHFORD DISTRICT
“The Council sets out a policy allocating the total number of housing units to the top tier (90 per cent) and second tier (10 per cent) settlements , to gain a smaller number of large sites which will deliver the greatest number of infrastructure improvements. The split is as follows:
Completions 2001 -2006: 900
Rochford/Ashingdon : 1000
Hockley/Hawkwell : 400
Rayleigh : 1800
Smaller Settlements 500
====
TOTAL : 4600
(By “1st Tier ” this means towns and large villages - Rayleigh, Rochford, Ashingdon, Hockley and Hawkwell. By “2nd Tier” this means Hullbridge, Canewdon and Great Wakering. “Completions 2001-2006″ means houses already built.)

Medical Care : Matter of Concern Number 4, Residents Survey - Hawkwell West 2007
I have been contacted by many people in Rochford District about the PCT intention to close the late Dr. Sen’s Surgeries in Hawkwell and Rochford.
I understand that a final decision will be made by the NHS Primary Care Trust on 29 March 2007, 12.30 pm at Harcourt House, Harcourt Avenue, Southend. This meeting is open to the public.
Let me say that I have not been consulted, nor have the imperative reasons why these have to close been made known to me by the PCT.

BURGLARY WARNING: Several recent burglaries have occurred in Hockley. Patio doors are being smashed to gain entry. It is suggested to install a good Burglar Alarm. Install PIR lights. Postcode your property. Visit www.immobilise.com and record details of valuables, serial numbers etc for free. If your road is not currently covered by a neighbourhood watch scheme, it is strongly recommended.
YOUTH ISSUES: The new skateboard park is almost complete at Clements Hall. Rochford Council are considering installing 5-a-side football posts at the overflow car park near to the ramps to encourage youths away from Spa Road and behind the library.
