New Roads. I travel from Leigh to Brentwood along the A127 and Brentwood road. There are hold ups every day except the school holidays. A 25-30 minute journey takes 1 hour & 10 minutes. The road infrastructure cannot take any more traffic. The A1127 comes to a stand still near slip roads and if there are accidents elsewhere there is a huge knock on effect.
If Brentwood / Basildon / Southend / Castle Point and Rochford Councils all have to provide new housing the A127, A13 and A12 will come to a stand still. Major improvements are required and a regional traffic survey should be sought with all adjoining Councils who join these roads.
Brentwood Road is single lane with hardly any parking restrictions to traffic backs up. Perhaps a ring road could be provided taking traffic around the back of the housing. Or could the Council request staggered school start times.
