Essex County Council (ECC) have responded to the letter that the Parish Council sent in regards to the closure of the B1019 (Langford Road) for a 6 week period. In our letter we asked for:
- The full traffic management and diversion plans,
- Any emergency services access and response strategy developed for the duration of the closure,
- The risk assessment documentation for the closure.
In response to 1. The full traffic management diversion plans, they confirmed they held the information requested but cannot currently provide this due to an exception in the Environmental Information Regulations as the information is in the course of completion and currently unfinished.
In response to 2. and 3. the response was that there is no provision for emergency services access as during the road closure there will be no road space available for emergency vehicles. Additionally the risk assessment document has not yet been recieved.
The full response from ECC can be read here.
Update 08/05/2025: A further response was given from ECC's customer services. The respone can be read here.
