Status unknown
3 large concrete blocks right next to roadway
Reported via iOS anonymously at 23:56, Wed 16 May 2018
Sent to Basildon Borough Council and Essex County Council 4 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1314559.
Blocks being used by owner to block access to gates. Far too close to side of the road meaning there would be a serious potential problem if a car has to swerve to miss an oncoming vehicle. Owner could easily have moved the blocks further away from the road and still serve their purpose

No change when went past the apot on Tuesday. According to the Essex Councy Council site where I also logged hte problem, they say "This issue has been investigated, risk assessed and recorded in line with our Maintenance Strategy and we are in the process of scheduling works. "
So hopefully these large concrete blocks will be moved further away from the edge of the roadway soon

Still no progress. Surely it should be so simple for Basildon Council to insist the owner moves these blocks!!!

Council have done nothing about it, other than their initial report back in May which said "We have investigated, risk assessed and recorded this issue and we are in the process of scheduling works".
There is no scheduling of works required - all they need to do is get the owner of that entrance next to the roadway to move the large blocks back from the side of the road !!! Since I originally reported the problem with these blocks they have been moved so they are at an angle to the road so worse if any bike rider or car were to hit them!

Still no progress at all since originally logged back in May. Just checked Essex Highways site where the problem was also logged - their reference 2572415 - and it has now been removed without any solution !!! So will be logged again
