I moved to Billericay a few months ago. The area is interesting asit is highly Conservative but has the Basildon Labour councillors in charge of the entire area, except they hide behind Essex Highways, another Conservative group, who describe this road crossing as safe for cyclists and pedestrians.
Reform have just wiped out the Tory party, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer group by an even lovelier group who are led by an MP who claims he cares about this country whilst in America and learning about diversity.
First they came for the gipsies, then the disabled, and then the Jews. In this case thet will come for anyone who calls them out as racist and homeophobic.
I have spoken to many people in Billericay, and they say that they have been hit by passing vehicles on this crossing, and generally been ignored for many years. I think it is time for some change. The current Tory MP and th local Tory councillors aren’t that bothered about the crossing.
It is time for the Conservative councillors to actually do something for the residents of Billericay, rather than their usual political point scoring, and complaints about the Labour party.
We want this road crossing to be accessible by a person walking, a cyclist, a pushchair, and also by a wheelchair, a double pushchair.
There is absolutely no way that I could cross this railway bridge without being killed.
More recently I received an email from a Tory Councillor on the Cabinet Member for Highways, Infrastructure and Sustainable Transport, Essex County Councillor for Braintree Town Division.
He described an bridge over the railway which involves steps, probably quite a lot. Relevance?
He also described the railway crossing over Mountnessing road and the exact dimensions of the footpath from a google map. You only need to visit the bridge to see what a death trap this is. I will not be visting the bridge outside of a car for fear of my being killed by a motorist at 30mph or more.
What a complete waste of everybodys time. What a moron. Basically he did not give a shit.
