Respondent: Ms Sian Thomas

Representation Summary:

8.7 It is recognised that there are issues associated with a high car dependency population and high levels of out-commuting in the district.

This is not a choice that residents of Hullbridge have, they need cars to travel to work in other parts of the county/London. This causes issues on a regular basis, with queues of traffic trying to leave or enter the village. On days where bad weather also plays a part, and accidents have occurred, the surrounding area has been gridlocked and on several occasions, I have not been able to get to work.
