I approached the lights at the junction of New North Roadoad and Elmbridge Road and it was on red. I waited and watched as the lights changed twice for the other 2 routes but mine was still on red. So when it was safe to doe so I turned right into Elmbridge Road on a red light. On coming back an hour later I saw the light was working ok, 9th December

Overhanging trees and bushes blocking the footpath, 4th October

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 11:01:16 +0100
51.616619 0.101715

We are a Special Needs Boarding School on School Lane and our children frequently walk the route to Chigwell Shops and Grange Hill Station. The pathway on Lambourne Road is block by Bushes and Trees making this incredibly dangerous for our children, who are nearly in the Road, as they proceed along the pathway. They cannot travel in single file as many of our children need to hand hold with a supervising adult. This is a road where cars are travelling at speeds with bends which obscures a clear view. This is a Health & Safety issue which we would ask you to address immediately

Cars speeding, 20th July

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 08:19:38 +0100
51.619928 0.071251

Cars are frequently now using Chester Road down to Brook Way Chigwell to avoid traffic build up and any roadworks that have been in place - and go way over the speed limit along Brook Way to cut through the back of Chigwell Parade of shops to cut out the mini-roundabout on Chigwell High Road. This happens frequently and I've just witnessed two cars coming down there at 50+ mph with one narrowly missing someone walking at the side of the Brook (green area) tooting their horn at them and the person being really shaken up. Since road works happen often on Chigwell Rise with the Junction of Chigwell High Road, cars often cut through Chester Road and then speed down Brook Way, often in the middle of the road when there are cars parked on the left hand side - and when the Brook has not been mowed, you have walkers /joggers walking on the Brook side because the pavements on Brook Way are not flat . It's getting ridiculous. Speed cameras and the cables which detect speeds were put in place years ago - is this possible to do this again because it won't be too long before someone is hurt . I live in Brook Rise and so use Brook Way and the amount of near misses I've witnessed on that road - ask anyone who lives on Brook Way about the speeds cars go at and the near misses . This is a serious accident waiting to happen because of all the roadworks and closures going on - often at the Junction of Chigwell Rise and the High Road.
