Road Closure Notices

NORTH HALL ROAD
3/2/22: Intended closure of North Hall Road, due to commence on 12th February 2022 for 266 days. The closure is required for the safety of the public and workforce while Essex County Council undertakes retaining wall. 


6/4/21 - Request from HPC re North Hall Road Closure: 
Please sign the attached petition and support the Parish Councils of Henham, Ugley and Elsenham in a bid to lobby Essex County Council to swiftly resolve the closure of North Hall Road. Their lack of action over the last nine months is negligent and the road closure affects hundreds of residents on a daily basis. The diversion through Patmore End is totally unsuitable and now extremely dangerous.

It only takes a minute, and we need as large a response as possible. Please pass on to your personal contacts, groups and interested parties.

Many thanks HPC

Update from Essex Highways on 28/03/22:

We have received and reviewed the preliminary design for works to North Hall Road and are satisfied with the proposal. Therefore, we instructed our contractors to carry out the next task of completing the submission documents to the Environment Agency. The full application was submitted in March 2022 and consultations will be held with the Environment Agency to ensure that we gain approvals for the preferred design. We anticipate the consultation period and approval time to be between 8-12 weeks. We have also discussed the preferred option with the utility companies whose apparatus is within close proximity to the works location, and they have accepted our proposed design. The necessary vegetation works were carried out within the Highway land in February 2022 to avoid bird nesting season. Please be assured we are working very closely with the design and build contractor and as soon as we received a detailed construction programme we will be able to share this information.

Bonfires -  Residents are reminded that the UDC website states that residents should not light bonfires during the coronavirus pandemic if it is likely to cause problems with neighbours or residents. There is a report form on the UDC website to report anti-social bonfires.
HPC asks residents to consider other residents when thinking of lighting a bonfire. During this lockdown it is unreasonable to subject neighbours to smoke and smell when they are adhering to Government guidelines by staying indoors. Please do not light bonfires during this lockdown period.
