If you thought road congestion in the Priory Park/Cuckoo Corner area of Southend is grim at the moment, have you seriously considered what it is going to be like after all the planned developments in the town are completed?
Consider this:- 1. Add the amount of road traffic generated by the new football stadium 2. Increase with the cars travelling to and from additional retail outlets at Fossetts Farm 3. Add the traffic attempting to use an expanded new London Southend Airport 4. Add the cars using the proposed Sainsbury's development at Roots Hall 5. Add all those extra vehicles on roads each year 6. Finally subtract slightly better flow of traffic in the Cuckoo Corner/Priory Crescent Areas with limited road improvements .
Do not include in your calculation rush hours, air shows, bank holidays, roadworks or schoolruns.
Send your answer in by foot, roller skate or bicycle to Traffic Scruitiny Committee, High Security Section, Restricted Access, Civic Centre, Southend.
