HAS Cllr Val Morris-Cook only just realised what a disgrace not only the A13/A1089 is, but Thurrock as a whole?
We ordinary folk have known it for years, and all we get is talk and more talk.
I suggest she stands at the M25 roundabout any time, of any day, for only a few minutes, to see where this rubbish originates. Lorry and car drivers blatantly sit at the lights and drop any amount of drinks cans, cigarette butts, crisp and sweet wrappers out of their vehicles. There have even been old mattresses dumped at this roundabout.
I suggest she organises the resurfacing of our roads and pavements, that at least would be a start, perhaps we may then take a little pride in where we live.
If a place looks tidy people will be more likely to keep it that way. – JOHN COGAN, Gardner Avenue, Corringham.
