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.

Unsafe parking on corner of junction, 10th January
This van parks on the corner of the junction to a main road daily and blocks view of oncoming traffic coming up John de bois hill when joining from spring valley lane. Large vehicles especially find it hard to manoeuvre around this corner due to the unsafe parking of the white van which in turn disrupts the flow of traffic wishing to enter down spring valley lane from the hill. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now as owner refuses to park vehicle in a safe spot.

Pot hole has resulted in my tyre puncture, 17th December
Yesterday 15th December 2023 I drove down the road and due to the rain went into the pothole. I didn’t think anything of it but this morning I was leaving my Christmas works due at wivenhoe house and a huge flat puncture in my tyre which has resulted in calling the RAC for recovery. And a £180 on a new tyre which is being fitted 17th December 2023. If the pothole was there this wouldn’t have resulted in damage to my vehicle

Excessive parking on Bridge, 16th December
15-20 cars parking on the Bridge crossing the A120. This is putting unnecessary weight on the bridge and has a potential safety issue when heavy lorries and other vehicles are crossing the bridge. This is happening mainly during week days and is being used by the Hyundai garage.

18-20” Pothole and very deep., 16th December
This pothole was reported to Essex Highways in April and is causing damage to cars.. This resulted in a new tyre as it’s extremely deep and fills up with water so you don’t see how severe this is when it’s raining. The Road surface is breaking up and needs resurfacing. Essex highways have not responded to the original report and and a complaint is being submitted

Remains of torched caravan in road, 10th June
A caravan was abandoned here and set on fire a couple of months ago. Its remains are still in the road and on the verge. They need to be removed, as they're restricting the width of the road around a corner with limited visibility.

Inadequate and missing road signs at dangerous junction, 9th May
This junction has been the scene of multiple accidents- at least three since Christmas. Signage was already inadequate, but a recent accident (31 Jan) flattened a sign which has not been replaced. Cars coming from Wick Lane towards Ardleigh who don’t know the area tend to shoot over the junction. Residents are seriously concerned. We have escalated to the ECC portfolio holder and to our MP in desperation.

Extreme Roadside Litter, 28th February
Heading east on the A120 from Colchester (Severalls roundabout) and all the way to the A133 exit, there is a colossal amount of litter and debris on the left-hand verge and in the bushes/trees. There are huge sheets of plastic, plastic bags, bottles, packets and tons of general mess. Some of it poses a danger to traffic should high winds dislodge any of it and, without any doubt, it poses an immediate and serious threat to wildlife. The central reservation is also strewn with dead animals, broken vehicle parts and general debris, all of which is a threat to traffic. Clearly there is no regular maintenance to clean the highway as the accumulation of rubbish is staggering.
