Conduct a Vehicle Speed Assessment in Larchwood Gardens
We the undersigned respectfully petition Essex County Council to conduct an assessment and review of vehicle speeds and instances of dangerous driving along Larchwood Gardens, CM15 9NG. We are particularly concerned about the period between 8:15–8:45 AM and 3:00–3:30 PM during school term time, when such activities pose heightened risks to public safety.

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

Dear Petitioner

Thank you for presenting this petition on behalf of Larchwood Primary School.

Essex County Council conducted a speed survey last year in the vicinity of Larchwood Primary School.

The Brentwood Local Highways Panel are able to accept requests for speed surveys on behalf of Parish Councils. They will need to submit a purchase order to the value of £368.20 which they can then invoice against. We would therefore suggest that if this is something you wish to pursue, that you contact your local parish council directly.

I hope this is helpful. Thank you for raising your concerns.

Kind regards
