Representation Summary:

With new developments, this B1023 through road is getting more and more congested at main junctions in 'rush hours'.

I am thinking in particular of the 600 homes currently being constructed in Hall Road, Rochford which could easily have accommodated an escape route onto Ashingdon Road instead of creating, when completed, around 1000 new vehicles spilling out into the main drag through Hockley and Rayleigh.
