According to tonight’s Echo:<\/a><\/p>\n

ESSEX County Council is to carry out new speed checks on roads which residents claim have become rat-runs for traffic to and from Rayleigh station.<\/p>\n

There has been an increase in the amount of traffic on Purleigh Road and Hatfield Road, Rayleigh, over the past ten years, because of new development in the area.<\/p>\n

Chris Lumley, Liberal Democrat Rochford district councillor for Grange ward, has organised a petition, with more than 120 signatures, complaining about speeding motorists.<\/p>\n

Mr Lumley said a previous speed check two years ago had shown there were no problems.<\/p>\n

But residents said the focus of a recent study was on parts of the roads where traffic was naturally going to slow down anyway.<\/p>\n

He added: “I often walk down both these roads and can testify it is not unusual to see cars travelling in excess of the speed limit during the day and I am told it is worse at night.”<\/p>\n

County council spokesman Peter Craig said it was proposed to wait until the spring to carry out the checks as winter weather tended to moderate traffic speeds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
