Respondent: MR Adrian Walker

Representation Summary:

8.17 "upgrades have been completed at the Rayleigh Weir junction".

What upgrades? The only thing you've done is upgrade the traffic lights which falls under a different set of legislation entirely. Rayleigh Weir is a massive pinch-point. An obvious improvement is to route West-bound traffic directly onto the A127 from the retail park. In additional a filter lane should be provisioned to route East-bound traffic straight into Rayleigh, although a large majority of this traffic shouldn't need to go through Rayleigh if the bypass (mentioned in 8.12) was built.
