Hockley Parish Council

[caroleshorney]

If you know of anyone interested in taking an allotment in either Hockley or Hawkwell, the relevant Parish Council has a duty to register each request and, if there is sufficient demand, they are obliged to look further into the possibility of supplying suitable land.

If you know anyone who is keen to pursue the opportunity of an allotment to grow their vegetables and flowers, please ask them to contact either Hawkwell or Hockley Parish Council (depending where they live) to register their name with full contact details at either or both the following email addresses:

clerk@hockley-essex.gov.uk and/or
info@hawkwellparishcouncil.gov.uk

They must ask for an acknowledgement and copy in caroleshorney@hotmail.com to keep us fully up-to-date with registration numbers.

The Hockley Parish Clerk has already started a feasibility study and we have now a small sub-committee exploring all possibilities!

The council is indeed obliged to log every request and search for suitable land. Where you may find you have a problem is that there is no timescale on finding said land. They can take decades of they choose to.
