2. A temporary ‘No Stopping’ restriction will be introduced on both sides of carriageway on the above lengths of roads for the duration of the closure to facilitate the works. Signs will be installed indicating when the No Stopping restriction will be in force.

The Essex County Council () (permitted parking area and special parking area) (Consolidation)Order 2016 will be temporarily amended to include the temporary ‘No Stopping at Any Time’ restriction and suspend any existing parking and waiting restrictions on the above lengths of roads only. All other restrictions and exemptions contained in the aforementioned Order and Amendments to that Order shall remain in force

The works being undertaken will take place within an 18 month period from 6th February 2017, exact dates will be specified on http://roadworks.org/. The roads will be closed to facilitate each phase and then re-opened to the public. Access will be maintained for pedestrians and emergency services. Diversion routes will be signed at each location and residents will be informed of the dates of each phase via letter / leaflet drop and advanced warning signs on the road.

Phase one Pre-surface patching works. These works comprise filling any surface defects and raising / replacing worn iron works (manhole covers and gulley’s) as well as removal of cat’s eyes if present.

Phase Two Surface dressing. The process entails spraying the road with bitumen and covering it with granite chippings, after which the road is then rolled, which along with the action of the traffic, embeds the chippings into the surface. The road will be swept within 48 hours and after 7 days. The bitumen part of the surface dressing as well as securing the chippings to the existing surface will seal the old road surface, thus preventing the ingress of water which causes deterioration of the road surface and will improve skid resistance.

Phase Three a) Reinstatement of white lines if required. Reinstatement of any road markings. b) Reinstatement of any road studs.

The Order will come into effect on 6th February 2017 and may continue in force for 18 months or until the works have been completed, whichever is the earlier.
