STROOD RAILINGS

The Strood railings were repaired but sadly many sections have been damaged again. Many of the breaks in the fencing have been due to vehicles crashing through the railings and this is a costly expense for Essex County Council.
If you witness any vehicles damaging the Strood railings or other Essex County Council property please report it via email to: Green.Claims@essex.gov.uk

DITCHES, TREES AND HEDGES

Do you have land, including your garden, near a road? Please make sure your roadside ditches are clear and any trees and hedges are cut back ahead of winter.
Blocked ditches can cause floods on the road which can freeze to form lethal ice. Trees left unmaintained can blow over or shed branches onto the road.
