30th June 2006 - ECC Highways publish changes to Wivenhoe Roads

In consequence of the development of Cook's Shipyard, Essex County Council Highways intend to increase double yellow line restrictions in several roads, introduce flat topped road humps and make Queens Road a cul-de-sac by blocking it off at its junction with Valley Road. 

A copy of the proposals is shown below. Drawings showing the details of these proposals are available in the Town Council offices weekdays between 10 am and 4pm.  

Anyone wishing to object to any of these proposals should send grounds for their objection in writing and addressed to Philip Thomson, Law and Administration, Essex County Council, PO Box 11 County Hall, Chelmsford Essex CM1 1LX or by e-mail to TRO-Objections@essexcc.gov.uk    

The notice reproduced below was also published in the Essex County Standard on Friday, 30th June 2006.
