Here are a few recent FixMyStreet reports – hopefully the County Council – and our County Councillors – will sort out the first two and think about the third one.
Potholes in Cecil Way, Rayleigh
Potholes & Worn Out Road Surface

The road was recently resurfaced at each end, however the middle section of the road is in appalling condition. There are now several potholes appearing, which are getting worse.
The road should have been fully resurfaced when the junctions were done

Please fix it all…
Rochford Square…
Queueing vehicles blocking the road

Drivers queue to use the one hour free parking in the square off West Street. These queues go across the ‘keep clear’ area marked on the road and can reach across the junction, blocking traffic from both East and South Streets, as well as stopping the bus from turning the corner into West Street. As far as I am aware, this is keep clear area is never enforced, and no traffic warden or police officer has ever moved the drivers on. It is a ridiculous situation, and is dangerous for pedestrians, causes delays in car and bus journeys, and makes it virtually impossible for wheelchairs and pushchairs to cross the road safely.
