How could the plan affect you ....?
| Bringing Jobs to Broxbourne | ||
| The Borough needs to attract new jobs and broaden the range of opportunities for local people. Existing employment sites off Essex Road in Hoddesdon, Park Plaza, between the A10, M25 and Winston Churchill Way, and Canada Fields by the Great Cambridge Road at Turnford now need to be developed. |
||
| Shopping | - supporting choice ? | |
| The area needs a range of shopping facilities
from town centre markets and corner shops to the larger
superstores and retail warehouses. The vitality and viability of Hoddesdon, Cheshunt and Waltham Cross are essential to the continuing health of the community. The Brookfield Centre and retail park are popular and make a significant contribution to meeting residents’ shopping needs. |
The plan will investigate shopping facilities for
which residents have to travel out of the Borough because
they are not available in Broxbourne. It
will also look at ways to avoid shops remaining empty by
considering alternative uses for vacant shops such as
cafes restaurants and entertainment facilities and
whether to bring residential uses back to the town
centres. |
|
| Traffic congestion: | what should/ can we do ? | |
| Traffic congestion and an over-reliance on the motor car need to be curbed. | The plan will look at measures to encourage travel
other than by private car. |
|
| Your quality of life | ||
| Maintaining the quality of life, including an
attractive built environment, access to open space,
local community, leisure and recreation facilities is a
key objective. |
The plan is one opportunity to address local needs and issues in guiding how the Borough develops in the future | |
