Flooding since Jan 6th, 19th February
Flooding since Jan 6th Need the road closing as lorries going past are causing a wash that is breaching sandbanks stopping the water reaching front doors. Until the problem is solved a road closure would make life slightly easier. The banks are being eroded causing silt that is going into sewers and blocking them. Already Anglia water have had to pump out sewers.

Roads completely flooded, 11th February
Coggeshall Rd & Hunters Chase are both impassable for long stretches. Deep water. Cars getting stuck. Flooding also masks deep potholes & it is impossible to see where the roads meet ditches at the side. Really, really dangerous

Highways signage paraphernalai, 8th December
I have previously reported this and it appears only one item has been collected. Large metal frames and several signs lay out of use and littering our village. 100 m towards our village along this same road and on the grass verge lay 2 more unused mobile signs and 2/3 sandbags. Please remove these. thank you

Report on FixMyStreet
Hedge protruding onto road, 8th December
As you come down off the A12 travelling towards Stratford St Mary one is thrown into middle of carriageway to avoid overgrown hedge. This has the ability to cause an accident particularly at nighttime and a driver is unaware of the area. It's along the left side and approx 50 m stretch.

Many potholes, 27th November
Very Dangerous Potholes
Reported before - no repairs of any kind. Not even a ring of paint!
Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 06:39, Monday 28 August 2023
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4932657.
First, this dangerous set of potholes has been reported before. If anything has been done about it then it ranks as a very poor job.
I have repeatedly experienced drivers hastily trying to avoid what is in essence a section of the road which has nothing but potholes. Drivers attempt to cross onto the other lane, in itself a slip road coming off the A12 on a blind corner.
These potholes are so bad one has to slow down to 10-15 mph (on a 50mph road) to avoid losing control and/or damaging tyres & wheels.
This section can no longer be classified as a road - it is a set of interconnected potholes.

Bridge damgaed, 14th October
A12 Northbound. Birchwood Road overbridge, structure number 855.
The bridge has clearly been struck/damaged as the concrete has broken away and looks like rebar exposed. There wasn't any debris on the road so it clearly hadn't just happened and no doubt National Highways is aware, but better to be sure.
