These have been here for at least 3-4 months and you have to straddle them hence you are forced onto the middle of the road. This is a busy rural road that is heavily used as Essex & Suffolk Water is based further along Middlemead. Coupled with their plant movement plus local tractors and a school bus route makes this a busy road. It also a popular cyclist route.

Dangerous long/wide pothole and road breaking up, 16th March

51.65013 0.516905

This enormous long and wide pot hole was reported over a year ago and is getting worse on the T junction of South Hanningfield Road and Middlemead This is on a heavily used T junction used by all variants of traffic - bus, car, bicycles etc The hole is almost impossible to avoid as road users have to manoeuvre across road to avoid. In heavy rain when full of water it cannot be seen. the council and highways must be aware about this after all they filled in holes not far away and must have driven over it when when putting up the 50+ waste of money new road signs instead of repairing the roads With the better weather coming and more cyclist and vehicles using this area an accident is waiting to happen let hope its not fatal. It’s over to you to restore our faith in our failing road system and look forward to your prompt action, thanks
