Safety on Whitmore Drive, Colchester, CO4 6BR

Ensure the safety of pedestrians and people living on Whitmore Drive, CO4 6BR. 

 

Since the 11th of December, as the temperatures dropped below 0 degrees and the road was covered on ice,

there have been 5 car accidents on the road curve next to the Water Tower. 

 

Although the residents have raised numerous requests to have the road gritted, the developer has not taken 

any responsibility as of 18th of December. 

 

Whilst we understand that this road is not part of a bus route at the moment, it still is a heavily used link road between Urbis Romanae and

Boxted Road. 

 

We urge the council to take some measures and avoid any potential casualties in the future. Possible options are:

- Ensure the roads are gritted

- Install appropriate signs, potentially to encourage drivers to slow down in icy conditions

This petition has been reviewed and the following response has been offered:

Dear Bogdan Stanciu

 

Thank you for submitting a petition titled "Safety on Whitmore Drive, Colchester, CO4 6BR", requesting that the roads be gritted during icy conditions.

 

Regrettably, this estate has not been adopted by Essex County Council, and therefore we are unable to undertake any gritting requests, or provide any additional signage.

 

I understand that you have already raised your concerns with the Developers, however you would need to continue liaising with them in regards to these matters.

 

I am sorry that I am unable to provide you with a more positive response.

 

Kind regards
