HIGHWAYS bosses are working to speed up work on a closed road which residents say is leaving them stranded following strong complaints. Tey Road in Earls Colne was closed last month as work began to connect a new housing estate to the village’s sewer system. Residents on the Lowefields estate off Tey Road have been left irate after roadworks that are expected to last until the end of May, which cuts them off from the rest of the village, began on March 22. The residents’ only diversion route is down Tey Road and America Road, route which they say are not fit for purpose.

Councillor Bentley’s (Essex County Council cabinet member for highways) plan to increase and speed up HGVs through Essex needs to be challenged. An alternative vision would focus on sustainably developing our rural economy for its residents, founded on what we have now (but is not valued enough) in the leisure, hospitality and tourism sectors, boosting small business (the engine of employment) and giving our rural communities recognition and real protection by being at the heart of our economic strategic thinking. I believe we need three steps in that vision: 1) Develop and implement Essex Strategic Lorry Routes (ESLR). 2) Develop and implement Strategic Tourist Routes (STR).
