Key Road Projects

Two roads in the district - the A113 through Stanford Rivers and A104 Epping New Road - are earmarked for safety improvement works by the Government.

Both roads are listed in today's 'mini-Budget' Growth Plan as Safer Road Scheme infrastructure projects which will be "accelerated as fast as possible" by the Government which is "aiming to get the vast majority starting construction by the end of 2023". 

No information has been given about the exact detail of the proposed work.

The report refers to the A113 'Brentwood' which suggests it refers to the London Road-Romford Road stretch through Stanford Rivers from Ongar to Passingford Bridge which is within the Brentwood and Ongar constituency.

The A104 'Epping' is thought to refer to the stretch which includes Epping New Road between Woodford and Epping which falls within the Epping Forest constituency.

The report states: "These projects may benefit from acceleration through planning reform, regulatory reform, improved processes or other options to speed up their development and construction, including through development consent processes."

It adds: "Presence on this list does not guarantee, where applicable, funding, planning consent or approval for other regulatory or permitting processes and the list is non-exhaustive of all projects which may benefit from acceleration.

"Where local authorities or agencies are the delivery leads, it is the government’s intent to support where possible in acceleration."

Epping Forest MP Dame Eleanor Laing said: "I'm delighted these roads are being highlighted for important road safety improvement work.

"Both have been the scenes of numerous serious and several fatal collisions over the years and any steps that can be taken to make them safer should be applauded."
