Overgrown vegetation at start of M11, Jct 5 south, 5th November
Overgrown vegetation severely restricts visibility of merging vehicles. I have personally witnessed one accident caused by this neglected safety issue. This has been a problem since COVID, but with with reduced traffic it wasn't too much of an issue, however with traffic patterns back to normal levels it needs sorting out.

Multiple eholes and bad road surface along the hole road, 14th October
The potholes along this road approaching David Lloyd Chigwell have been there for over two years and the road surface is horrendous for a public pathway. I'm surprised nothing has been done about this and it's a matter of time before a vehicle is badly damaged.

Overhanging trees and bushes blocking the footpath, 4th October
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
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.
