I READ with interest the article about traffic on the Springwood Industrial Estate.

I work on this estate and trying to get off it in the afternoon/evening is beyond a joke.

There was a meeting earlier in the year to sound out feelings and I cannot believe Essex Highways’ answer is to suggest car sharing (which we do) and staggering leaving times (which we do).

Also, if you are a relatively small business, you need to have staff at their desks during the company operating hours (usually 9 to 5) So clearly this is not the answer.

There needs to be at least one alternative exit from this estate, Surely the powers that be at Essex Highways can see that?
