Need To Know Essex

Available for over a year

There have been new calls from politicians and business owners to upgrade and dual the A120 road between Marks Tey and Braintree. The Conservative MP for Braintree, James Cleverly, has started a petition to get the road back on the government’s agenda, after it recently ruled out any re-routing or widening. But users of the road believe there is a drastic need for something to be done. (Photo credit: Richard Daniel/BBC)
