Rochford District Council

Rochford District Council aims to make the district the place of choice in the county to live, work and visit. Set apart from its more urban neighbours, Rochford is an area that has retained its identity, with green fields and salt marshes, ancient woodlands and open riverbanks. With its main towns of Rayleigh and Rochford and many smaller town and village communities, including Hockley and Great Wakering, Rochford District Council takes its heritage seriously yet continually reviews its plans for the future.

The Council plays a major part in the local economy and every day provides services to the residents or encourages others to do so, either through an enabling role or lobbying on behalf of or working with the community.
