Housing development Hockley Heath

I wish to express my concerns about increased traffic in Hockley Heath, particularly in the area around Hockley Heath Primary school, should the proposed housing development off School Road take place. I have no objection to a housing development other than the potential for increased risk to both road and pedestrian users in this area. Therefore, I would like to suggest that land adjacent to Hockley Heath school be purchased (by the developers) and used for collection and drop off of school children.

Currently, twice a day the residential area opposite Hockley Heath Primary school becomes a hazard both for car users and pedestrians.
* Cars which are used to collect and drop children off:
* block the access roads
* park on pavements and block access for pedestrians
* Idle engines and cause pollution and noise.
While I appreciate that homes must be built, I hope that a practical solution can be found to address the issue of increased traffic around the Primary school.
