Rocks - stones - sand on the Road, 4th April
The Northbound A12 slip road is down to a safe 8 foot wide track that is an accident waiting to happen This has been caused by the lorries and other vehicles leaving the Aggregate site at Coleman’s Bridge Someone has to be responsible for this cleanup I thought it was the contractors responsibility to ensure ALL lorries leaving the site were swept which obviously doesn’t happen In all honesty the whole area is subject to this problem caused by the constant in and out from the site without due care

Dirty unkept roads/pavement/cycle track - Dangerous, 21st March
The Roads leading into Witham from A12 and exiting Witham (Colchester Rd) along the northbound slip road to A12 has had debris(stones, gravel, dirt and dust) for several months. This has become very dangerous when braking as depleted traction and dangerous. I feel an accident waiting to happen if not already. I reported this to MP Priti Patel on 2 March, 2024. I travel frequently to Witham with my work and the situation has not improved for some months. Is there anything that can be done to improve this dangerous and unsightly situation(LoveEssex)? Thankyou for your time in reviewing my comments.

Traffic light delay is too long, 19th March
The delay in the traffic lights is too long. Traffic backs up into Witham. The delay is in the region of 10 minutes. The red light going towards Chelmsford is triggered by traffic passing the opposite light. It only allows a few cars through at a time. If the lights are there to restrict the weight on the weak bridge then they are doing a very poor job. They accumulate the traffic so that it is all on the bridge at one time. There is very seldom any traffic coming in the opposite direction as there is only one farm on the side of the A12. The whole problem would be resolved by having a button for the farm traffic to press when they need to proceed towards Witham. The lights could then be permanently on green for Chelmsford traffic, unless requested. The other problem is that the block of traffic passing over the bridge when the lights turn green then causes swerving and passing each other as they blend with the busy A12. Please do something... it's been years!!

Debris, 18th March
Nearly a month has passed since my report and yet the Hazards remain for both road and path users. The situation has been worsening for the past 3-4 months. The level of debris in this area is unacceptable. I have personally witnessed Tipper trucks under the brand Brice operating with incorrectly or partially fitted covers to loads exceeding the hight of the truck bed walls. As a commercial venture the quarry site needs to answer these complaints and clean up its act otherwise works should be halted. The whole junction is becoming a dangerous mess of potholes and debris. I ask you to inspect the pavement adjacent to the Northbound sliproad and ask if its reasonable for a road bicycle tyre to ride across. I wish to use this route out of Witham and currently i can not. Kind Regards
