ELLA Vine, Labour’s candidate for Stanford le Hope West, has taken firm steps on an important road safety issue. The long overdue painting of the roundabouts at the top of Corringham Road, by the DP World port, has finally happened due to Ms Vine’s action.
Ella said: ‘’Residents complained to me last month about these two mini-roundabouts being many months overdue to be painted.
"The roundabouts were almost completely invisible and residents have observed on many occasions how drivers were not noticing them and just passing by as there were no roundabouts. I made sure that this important and long-overdue safety issue has been resolved fairly quickly and I was pleased to see them painted.
"Another safety concern on this road is speeding. Unfortunately, not all drivers respect the 30m/h speed limit. This is a busy road where many children cross it as pedestrians – this road leads to Hassenbrook Academy, children’s centre and Salvation Army, where many family events take place weekly. I appeal to the drivers to upheld the 30 m/h limit and I also work with the Thurrock’s Highways Agency and the Police to help resolve this issue’’.
