Councillor Michael Dixon said: “The traffic light at Church Road/Manor Road junction has been knocked around. It has been reported to Cllr Beverley Egan and she has registered the issue for repair.”

Essex county councillor Andrew Sheldon added: “A warning for those who are planning to travel along Church Road in Thundersley today.

“Whether this was a bashing from a lorry or vandals with a screwdriver I have no idea but either way this is very dangerous!

“I will keep in touch with my colleague and post an update when it has been fixed.”
