Dear Alison,

I understand your frustration. I have asked Upminster Ward councillors to reply to you direct and will add something to the website if I can.

Can you please confirm how the residents of North Ockendon are supposed to get to and from work if the bus service is diverted away from Ockendon Road? We do not have the luxury of an alternative – no clear walking routes/paths.

This bus service is also heavily used for the carers at 2 large care homes (Ockendon Road and Fen Lane). Will a shuttle bus be provided? Has there been any thought made to the residents about the severe disruption to this closure?

In reply to North Ockendon Resident.

It is councillors understanding that the works are part of the same project. Unfortunately, the council have no legal ability to insist that they all occur at the same time.

I’ve lost count of the number of times this stretch of road has been dug up this year! Is no-one co-ordinating these works at a strategic level? Overall it’s not very cost or resource efficient.
