Letter from Cllr Hume.
Cllr Hume wrote I can confirm that the section of the road
within Uttlesford has now been inspected and the minor defects that have
been identified will be programmed for treatment within the next month.
Similar inspection of the section within the Chelmsford district has led
to the identification of more extensive patching, particularly either
side of Ford End. It is
hoped that this work will also be carried out within the next month.
In addition to this, the section of B1008 from its junction with Essex
Regiment Way to its junction with the B1417 is included in the current
years surface dressing programme.
Further to these identified maintenance works, an
improvement is currently being designed for the junction of the B1008
and the B1417 and will include resurfacing the approaches to the new
junction. |
