Rebecca Harris MP is pleased to have been successful in her push for new street lights that were needed on Canvey Island.
Rebecca commented:
"I am highly relieved that the new street lights on Furtherwick Road on Canvey are up and looking good. The old street lamps were condemned and had to be removed. I have had weeks of frustration, writing, calling and emailing the Council on behalf of residents trying to get them to hurry up with installing the new LED replacements. In the end I had a meeting with the Cabinet Member for Highways at Essex County Council and I will be thanking him for intervening and sorting this out for my residents."
Essex County Council carries out regular inspections of roads and pavements on our network, but they know that issues may come up between these inspections. These could be potholes or other road surface issues, damaged street lights, overgrown trees or missing lit bollards.
You can tell them about maintenance issues online by using the highways reporting tool, linked here.
