Cllr Pauline Bacon [email protected] Planning & Highways Committee The Committee met in December and looked at the Healthy School Streets survey, which had been circulated by Essex County Council. This survey asked for opinions to make Mill Road, past Myland Primary School, safer for children and parents walking to and from the school. We also considered action to support the ‘20s Plenty’ campaign for Essex roads, aimed at reducing road deaths. Last year the Council arranged for overgrown vegetation at various points around the parish to be cut back. We have reviewed these sites and have asked our contractor to re-visit all the sites except one, to tidy up the areas. A potential bridge providing a safe crossing across the A12 at FP39 has been considered by the Council in previous years. The Committee has now agreed to begin engagement with the City Council, National Highways and the Chesterwell developers to see if this is a viable project. 11
