About the scheme

As part of planning conditions for the development of properties on the Maylons Farm Development granted by Rochford Council Planning, improvements to the local highway are required to relieve congestion at a bottle neck, affecting motorists in the area.

Preliminary works to clear and prepare the site will start on Monday 4 January 2021 after which construction on a new larger roundabout will begin and is anticipated to be completed in June 2021.

What is involved and how this may it affect you

To ensure disruption is kept to a minimum the works will take place in phases with appropriate traffic management for the works taking place to protect the safety of the public and workforce.

The site access has been designed to include a suitable access to allow delivery vehicles to enter and deliver goods off the carriageway to minimise disruption to local residents.

The majority of the improvement works will be carried out during the daytime between the hours of 7am and 10pm, Monday to Saturday.
