Highway Maintenance - Waltham Abbey/Upshire

I drop my son to the child minder and have lost control of my car countless of times. Please solve this.

This road is lethal in the ice. The only sensible route from Upshire to Honey Lane and the A121 and M25 it is far busier than you'd expect, early in the day before the ice has had a chance to melt. It's been a problem for years and it needs to be addressed.

My little sister and step mum had a crash on here just yesterday!

I use this road daily and had a near miss myself two days ago, I have avoided the road since but this added an w extra 20 minutes to my journey which may seem not too bad but I am a single parent, holding down a full time job, making sure my son is safe and on time to school everyday, so to me that 20 minutes is important. Please grit this Road to prevent a serious accident happening. I am sure the companies that work off of these roads would contribute!!

Roads are really bad, almost been hit 3 times in a week!

This is a must

The road is a nightmare all year round, but when icy is a death trap.

Please grit our roads

Lived here 40 yrs and its worse now more building more traffic.Really needs gritting.

Woodgreen Road is a very busy county lane, as it serves as a cut through across Waltham Abbey. Myself and two 6 year old children were involved in a very serious accident on Friday 20th January due to another vehicle skidding in to me because of black ice on the road. The road had not been gritted. My car was written off, and all involved sustained injuries. This was the 5th accident along this same road that week, all due to the icy road conditions. The ambulance crew in attendance had been called to Woodgreen Road twice previously that week, all for the same reasons. Apparently one of those other victims they tended to was a council worker themselves, who was going to request that the road was gritted. That certainly never happened. Residents of that road have expressed just how dangerous it is, especially at night, as there is no street lighting. Despite their requests on numerical occasions, this road is apparently never gritted. Are the council waiting for a fatality before they will finally grit the entire length of this road? With our local roads being so heavily congested in the area, it is no longer acceptable to only grit main roads.

These roads are lethal in the cold. Very very icy and dangerous.

I use this road at least twice daily to get too work and it's disgusting that it's never gritted i have seen so many accidents alone this road over the years i have been driving and the last few days have been horrendous something needs to be done before someone innocently looses their life due to the non-gritting of the road!

Undercarriage of my car was wrecked when i had to swerve a lorry coming other way and over my side quite a bit and i was forced into massive gully at side of road! The road isnt fit for vehicles larger than a car but still the lorries fly along it. Same with the Crooked Mile!

Broadgate is just as bad.

Wood Green road is a busy road and should be gritted.

I was in an accident on woodgreen road yesterday. A lorry drove me of the road and did not stop. And then my son was in a car today and another car lost control and hit him. It is an absolute disgrace to leave this road as an icy death trap every winter. Are you waiting for someone to actually be killed before you act!?

Woodgreen Road is dangerous in the icy mornings. So dangerous pulling out onto Honey lane / woodreadon hill.

Our roads need to be grit, too many accident

Woodgreen Road is treacherous in the winter due to not being gritted. Accidents happen due to this every year and I have myself nearly lost control of my car several times on that road. Unfortunately due to where I live this is the only road I can use to get to the main roads. They definitely need to be gritted before there is a fatal accident.

Given the number of parents driving to drop off children in the vicinity, the number of commuters and commercial vehicles that pass through, we hope that a quick resolution can be found.
