Respondent: Ms Sian Thomas

Representation Summary:

8.9 Although Essex County Council, for example, has successfully secured a commitment of £27m to deliver improvements to the A127/A130 Fairglen Interchange, this will take some time to complete and by the time it is finished, traffic will have increased again and we will be back to square one. The highway network is at full capacity and stretched beyond its limits. Sometimes, I leave for work at 0630 and by the time I have reached the A127, I am in solid traffic. This is not good for health and well-being.
