“Anchor Road has been in need of repairs for a number of years. The road surface has been falling apart and been a cause a concern for many local residents and people who use the road. I have been working with residents and local councillors to put a strong case to Essex County Council to repair the road and I am pleased that they have listened. ”
“The repair will make a big difference and I will now be lobbying the Council to undertake these works as early as possible next year.”
