Having read the article regarding the old railings on Canvey Road being replaced (Feb 29), I would like to inform Pat Haunt that it was me who organised it, not the councillor she mentioned.

This was a project I worked on with the Highways Authority which arranged an engineer’s visit to assess this site. After this visit funds were assigned to removing the old dangerous rusty barriers and replacing them with new reflecting bollards.

Residents have complained to me for a long time about this ugly entrance on to Canvey, and for it to be cleaned up.

It has taken four years to get action on this work.
