Cars are constantly parking in bus stop bays and on zigzag lines from the pedestrian crossing especially at school pick up time. This makes it very dangerous for the hundreds of kids that pour out at 3.15pm

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

Inconsiderate parking, 1st April

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 12:25:46 +0100
51.8148 0.634602

This vehicle has been parked overnight by the occupier. Bronte Road is quite narrow with cars parked on either side. We use our garage every day, and monouvering in and out is problematic as the front of the garages assist to turn out of them and avoid vehicles parked opposite. The boot of the vehicle is overhanging into the road and could easily be the cause of a collision. The vehicle is parked at the rear of 30 Bronte Road, Witham.

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.

Debris, 18th March

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 23:17:25 +0000
51.80912 0.652773

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

Mud a stones, 15th March

51.80912 0.652773

There is a ridiculous amount of mud and stones on the edge of both sides of the north bound slip road roughly 3-4 wide! This debris is being spat onto the foot/cycle path making it extremely hazardous for cyclist/ pedestrians from flying stones, slippery muddy path and puncture issues. It is also an issue for motorists, cracked windscreens and damaged body work. This is obviously from the quarry over Colemans bridge and has been like it for the last few months, I assumed they would get some road sweepers out to clean it up. Colleagues have informed me the south bound slip road is equally as bad.
