Progress dualling scheme for A120 between Marks Tey and Braintree in Essex
This petition calls on the Department for Transport to fund and progress the dualling of the A120 between Marks Tey and Braintree as part of the national strategic road network to improve road safety, network resilience and connectivity.
The current state of the A120 continues to have a devastating impact on a national level.
The key areas of concern include: The continued loss of life on a road which is difficult for motorists to navigate and drive along; the increasingly poor quality of life for residents; and the lack of economic growth due to poor transport links which have implications on a national scale.
