Just joking, on a serious note, beware some of our Thurrock
side roads and lanes are (filthy
with rubbish) and are known to constantly (flood)
after a heavy down poor due to Thurrock's (blocked
drains) and poor surface drain
maintenance, to see more blocked drains

Bring your Sat Nav.
Your Sat Nav will be a vital gadget to bring with you
when visiting Thurrock, it will help you get around
our Thurrock roads Safely, sadly this is due to some
of Thurrock's road signs giving out incorrect information,
and some roundabout information signs are obscured and
(unreadable)
and some roundabout (information
road signs are non existent)

Oh, I nearly forgot, be prepared for
an emergency if nature calls, because you will defiantly
be crossing your legs and struggling to find a (Public

You have been warned.
Are you a Cyclist, or Motor Cyclist?
Many roads in the Uk including Thurrock are
in a desperate need of urgent repair regarding resurfacing.
Thurrock's Housekeeping And Road Safety Standards Fail.
Thurrock Councils poor road maintenance program is disgusting
and is not promoting a good image regarding improving
road safety, Chafford Hundred Conservative Councilor

The
Dangerous road shown in the picture above is one
of many roads in Thurrock that has a worn out
road surface and in this case deep pot holes that
are circled in the picture to reflect my concerns

This
Site Covers Many Outstanding Problems within Thurrock.
Thurrock has been ear marked by the (Thames
Gateway) for total regeneration, sounds good, but
don't get to excited some of the changes that have taken
place are not all they are made out to be and may affect
you!
Thurrock's
Road Safety Improvements Soon Fall By The Wayside.
Thurrock Council are very quick to take credit and keep
banging on about how good they are introducing the new
cycle paths but appear to shut their eyes when some of
the cycle paths disappear due to the lack of maintenance
regarding white markings that identify and boarder, the
picture below will demonstrate my concerns.
It is worth a mention that further down this road
where the vehicles are parked on the right, the cycle
path markings have been completely eroded

Working
Together To Put Thing's Right.
I would like the community and Thurrock Council
to work together to overcome some of Thurrock's outstanding
problem's, however this is not always possible due a
lot of volunteered information that has been forwarded
to Thurrock Council from myself and other members of
the public falling on deaf ears.

Its time for everybody at Thurrock Council to work together

not going to achieve anything.
Local Or General
Election?
I am unbiased to whom I vote for, and I will vote with
my feet at all elections when I see some real positive
results regarding many outstanding problems within Thurrock.
Why Did Thurrock
Councils Highways
Lie to Me in 2001!
The
Asda Roundabout Incorrect Road Sign Agreement,
Thurrock Councils Highways department should never have
lied to me, this was the straw that broke the Camels back,
and got me to sit down and build this web site, although
I have calmed down now, I have lost a lot of Confidence
in Thurrock Council.
The Meeting Regarding Asda Roundabouts Misleading
Road Sign.
A meeting was arranged by Thurrock's Rt Hon Labour MP
Mr McKinley with a Mr Peter Tilbury who at the time was
Thurrock Councils Highways Engineer and myself regarding
some Thurrock Road Safety regarding missing or incorrect
road signs and other outstanding road Safety issues.
When I Left The Building The Agreement Was Changed!
I thought the meeting at the time was a big success, however
it turned out to be a farce to shut me up, this became
apparent when I received a letter from Thurrock Councils
Highways department regarding what they said was agreed
at the meeting, at this point I realized that Mr Peter
Tilbury and his associate who was also present at the
meeting had manipulated the agreed facts, this made me
extremely angry, and also made me put my guard up for
any future council meetings that may take place.
That is why I took a high Grade ADI driving Instructor)
to the recent council meeting that took place on the 21/1/2009,
you can read the full story, and any progress made when
you brows the Asda roundabout link. .
The
2001 Meeting
(Feed Back)
The
letter received with the omitted wording
(Please click image to read)
What Really Was
Agreed
At the meeting
.
A Tempory Solution Was Agreed At The
Meeting
Mr Peter Tilbury agreed that a tempory measure would be
put in place by adapting two plates to correct the agreed
incorrect Asda roundabout leader board road sign, and
the tempory measure would stay in place until a new sign
could be installed.
This tempory part of the agreement has not been put in
place.
You
can read the full extent of the (Asda
roundabouts) incorrect road sign and other outstanding
Thurrock problems that have come to my and other Thurrock
residents attention as you go through the site.
