Motion E

Proposer: Councillor T. Young, Seconder:  Councillor Law

Over the past year we have experienced frequent episodes where communities have experienced disruption to their travel that could have been alleviated with better planning. 

Too often we have had utility works going on in an area and highway repairs or improvements either running concurrently or in near succession causing road users the need for extensive diversions to get to and from their home. 

Not only is this frustrating, being late for appointments or work but delays have economic consequences too. 

Therefore this authority calls upon Essex County Council to develop a process to plan works with utility companies and highway engineers to minimise disruption to road users thereby allowing traffic to move around more freely. 


The motion relates to a non-executive matter and will be debated and determined by Council.
