Road Safety MIGHT
Improve in Thurrock
3/03/2011
Devonshire
road weight Limit MUST be
Lifted.
Common Sense Prevails, at last the penny may have dropped
and road safety in Thurrock might get a positive move
forward in the right direction, if this consideration
transpire's the the councilors responsible should pat
yourselves on the back.
Not
in our back yard!
Past and present Thurrock Conservative councilors Garry
Hague, Tunde Ojetola, Neil Rockliffe, and Steve Veryard
should be ashamed of themselves by putting there
own interest first,
these councilors have launched an online petition
against the lifting of the weight restriction, guess where
these councilors live! Chafford Hundred come's to mind?
DO NOT SUPPORT
The inconsiderate C/Hundred Conservatives
Campaign.
Take Note.
Devonshire road was built as a relief road for London
Road and West Thurrock

New
Traffic Calming - I don't think so!
Its nearly a month since the bad icy weather
in December 2010 has passed, and our Thurrock roads
have now become dangerous due to the new pot holes
and more new flooded road areas in Thurrock.
Replacement window screens and damaged vehicle suspension
is not being taken lightly.
Click
the images to enlarge and note the stones and grit
on the road.
UPDATE
- 8/5/2011
Auto Screens May have a field day!
90% Holes filled, but Clock house lane
is still a hazard for vehicles due to the vast amount
of stones a debris on the roads, the results from
the pot holes.

 I
personally welcome any progress that would make Thurrock
a better place to live, but, not at any cost.
I visited the Port of Tilbury’s exhibition at the
Tilbury Cruise Terminal on the 30th March 2010 regarding
the Port of Tilbury’s attempts to bulldoze through
planning permissions to expand the port of Tilbury’s
foot print that would NOT
benefit the people of Thurrock that they are suggesting.
Yes
Thurrock does need a lorry park; however, any new lorry
park must be sited away from residential areas and nearer
to the A13 & M25.

Fort
Road Tilbury - 24/1/2010
Fly tippers fill Tilbury's ditches in Fort
road Tilbury with junk and rubbish for over a mile!

What
are Thurrock Councilors going to do about it?
Tilbury in Thurrock Essex has a very high risk of
flooding and all drains and flood plain ditches
must be kept clean and clear of rubbish at all time's.

Are These New Red Road Markings
Legal?
What
Books Can I find these New Rules in?
The rules in the official Highway Code
and other UK official department of transport books
are not showing any red paint in the images!
Why
am I Seeing Red Paint in Thurrock's (chevrons) Hatch
Markings?
Has Thurrock Councils Highways department got a
different (up to date) Highway Code rule book to
the rest of us?
Confusion
& Hesitation Causes Accidents
Check out the official Highway Code Rules
below relating to Chevrons and hatch Markings (Areas
of white diagonal stripes)
The
Official Highway Code
Rules
Areas of white diagonal stripes
130
Areas of white diagonal stripes or chevrons painted
on the road. These are to separate traffic lanes
or to protect traffic turning right.
if
the area is bordered by a broken white line, you
should not enter the area unless it is necessary
and you can see that it is safe to do so
if the area is marked with chevrons and bordered
by solid white lines you MUST
NOT enter it except in an emergency

Thurrock
Council Highways
MUST
Get the Road Safety Priorities Right!
Why
have Thurrock Council Highways allowed the Hatch
Markings that are bordered with solid lines
at the Chadwell hill cross roads been allowed
to deteriorate?
This
has been an ongoing Road safety problem since 2001

Stop The Right To Buy
Maggie
Thatchers Right To Buy Got This Country Into This Mess!
Do
You Know That Your Council Housing Stock Is Diminishing
Daily.
For many years when we have got engaged or married we
have had the opportunity to be accommodated in a Council
flat or House, that was until Maggie
Thatchers Conservative Government changed the rules
to win over voters!
No
More Selling Off
Council Houses
There
Will Always Be A Need For Council Housing.
The Labour Government must act responsible
now and stop the right to buy regarding Council properties.
Breathing Space Is Needed While Saving Up The
Pennies.
The best way to give our hard working Nurses and teachers,
and our children a start in life is to start building
more Council flats and houses with rents that are affordable,
this breathing space would solve the housing shortage
problem and also allow the next up and coming generation
a chance to save up to buy their own property.

 Thurrock
Council Fails To Collect £2.1m Council Taxes 19/9/2008
According to the (free News paper) The Enquirer, Thurrock
Council registered the second highest figure in Eastern
England regarding £2.1m outstanding taxes
from 2007 to 2008 financial years.
The Cash Shortfall Will Result In More Hefty Local
Tax Rises In Thurrock's
It Does Appear that Thurrock Councils Conservative Administration
needs to get its act together, and then maybe we can achieve
lower Thurrock Council taxes, tax is only fair
if we are all made to pay.
Will
These Outstanding Taxes' Be Written Off?
What action is Thurrock Councils Conservative
Administration going to take to correct this outstanding
scandalous problem?
Thurrock
Council should be more forceful in recovering outstanding
Thurrock Taxes
Update
5/5/2011
How much rent and council tax did Thurrock Council fail
to collect up to to date?
Just
read the Gazette 5th May 2011.
Thurrock council is still
owed £millions in council tax and
rent, it looks like Thurrock council is a soft touch and
they are not setting a good example to collect these staggering
outstanding monies.
