   My step daughter had to phone us as she was completely lost due to lack of diversion signs. On trying to get her home, we were guiding her, every time we sent her one way it resulted in not being able to get back onto A12. Reason for this no signs stating that entrances, to A12, were closed. Road tax is payed obviously for road improvements and safety. ARE SIGNS NOT FOR SAFETY? Put more up!

   In addition to the other comments, closing the road BEFORE the publicised time is totally unacceptable. Why is it not being sorted?

   I used to work in Civil Engineering and have never seen such poor relations between contractors and motorists. One example when there were signs at the A12 end of the A130 proclaiming the road closes at 20.00 . I got there at 19.55, the workman put his hand up and closed the road . When I told him the time he laughed. Maybe because I was in an expensive car and he needed his sad life cheering up. The chaos at Sadlers Farm for years continues, the Stanford Le Hope by pass is a disgrace and obviously badly planned . I wonder what the criteria used by Essex Council when employing contractors. I know some Clerks Of The Works who say they often have their heads in their hands at the incompetance of the ”favoured” contractors.

   I live in Wivenhoe, I am a Carer for my elderly frail Mother (age 91) who lives in Romford, she is regularly having falls so I often use the A12 to get over to her quickly – fat chance when this major trunk road is closed. It’s totally unacceptable to completely close sections of the A12, it is causing distress to myself and to my Mother who is already struggling to cope with the isolation of lockdown let alone not seeing her daughter. There must other people like myself who are caring for elderly relatives, my caring role is tiring enough without spending twice as much time travelling to and from my Mother’s due to roadworks.

      It is all about making contractor’s lives easier. So much less hassle for them to close a road off completely than lay cones or set out contraflows. Motorists don’t matter as long as money is being made. The less hassle the less staff to pay. Essex is about the worst for this abuse of responsibility

      Perhaps whilst the roadworks are underway you could welcome your mum to stay with you!
      Its part of what is known as family!
