To overturn the decision of the planned reversal of traffic direction in Priory Street by Councillor Rodney Bass of Essex County Council
Why is this important?
The street is a residential street with a primary school, five religious establishments and some 60 units of sheltered retirement accommodation including elderly and sometimes vulnerable residents, with pedestrian access directly onto the street.
This proposal represents a serious threat to public safety and health, and amenity. It will also increase traffic congestion and pollution rather than solve any of the pressing town centre problems.
