Highway Maintenance - Waltham Abbey/Upshire

Community charge is increasing in Waltham abbey, but services are being cut? Gritting these roads is important

Start gritting

This must be seen too before someone dies!!!!

This road is a nightmare for everyone who uses it the top bend is the worst as a professional driver it hard for me to keep control sometimes and there is a bus that goes down there so it should be gritted

This rd is a death trap in icy weatherp

This road is used by many commuting to work or doing the school run, and MUST be gritted to avoid even more accidents occurring in the future

I now have to drive miles out of my way as i am too afraid of how slippery it is. Its dark and there is black ice it is too dangerous no gritting of these roads is a death waiting to happen.

It's so dangerous I have nearly crashed!

Nearly lost control the ice was so bad road is a deaf trap

Woodgreen Road has always been the same. People drive to fast. And the road has never been finished properly. Especially the first part coming from the Upshire Road.

Have my horses down this road. It's very dangerous this time of year.

It's a joke I crashed my car in Avery Rd at 8pm last Thursday . The road was like an ice rink and to rub my nose in it , the gritter lorry arrived as we were exchanging details. We have had temperatures of -4 in the mornings , why does it take them till 8pm to grit the roads !!!

This road is absolutely treacherous as soon as the temperature drops, it becomes a skating rink from one end to the other. It's so dangerous it's only a matter of time before someone loses their life. For many many years I have resorted to driving miles out of my way in bad weather in order to avoid using Woodgreen Road, it's also a bus route and so should be gritted as a matter of course, as should Horseshoe/Crown Hill which is also a death trap. Come on, grit these roads before someone dies....

Woodgreen road is the main link between upshire end of Waltham Abbey and the M25. It is vital that this road is safe.

Such a dangerous road when icy, there's accidents every day

Re-routing a gritting lorry has to be more cost effective to society than the overall expense of 6 crashes due to avoidable bad road conditions.

I've known to many people that have had accidents on that road in the ice conditions and have never seen it gritted

I agree wood green road is so dangerous needs to be gritted in bad weather .

I use this road every morning to get to the motorway and hate it in the bad weather
