Reply from Alan Hurst MP
25th February
Thank you for the copy of the letter you sent to the Highways Agency.
You are quite right to make strong representations. I am far from convinced that the Highways Agency has considered sufficient alternative routes. When I met with the Roads Minister some eighteen months ago there were up to thirteen routes under consideration.
This matter will surely end in a public enquiry. The stronger the representations are at this stage the better.
In particular the present proposed route is far too close to settlements at Tye Green, Lanham Green, Halfway at Kelvedon and parts of Feering. Further, the crossings of the environmentally sensitive Blackwater Valley is to be deplored.
Yours Sincerely
Alan Hurst MP for Braintree

What I found interesting about this reply was the reference to Tye Green, Lanham Green, Kelvedon and Feering. The original letter was from a resident of Cressing and yet Alan made no comment of this. Was this a generic reply?
I have just had my response from Mr Hurst. Yep - this is, in part, a generic reply. I had an extra paragraph added to my letter from Mr Hurst.
Far more interesting are the responses from the District and County Councillors. I emailed as many as I could find on the EssexCC and Braintree DC representing all constituencies affected by this redeveloment. Just about every one took the trouble to send a personal response. All very impressive.
