I HOPE Braintree Council, Abbeyfields and the various bodies and organisations involved in construction work on Polys Hill in Bocking realise there are no road signs or markings to warn motorists that there is a concealed entrance or even a warning sign that the site is under construction.

If at any time during construction of the site - and even when it is completed - someone is exiting on to Polys Hill and a fast-approaching vehicle is coming down the hill, the chances are that as there is a blind corner and a concealed entrance, there will be a very nasty accident and the vehicle exiting will be pushed right down the hill past the mini roundabout in Church Lane.

And look at the state of that lovely hedge, an absolute mess, and talking of mess. There is still evidence of mud and remains of the hedge cuttings on the road.

The site management must surely be held fully responsible for this, just imagine when it’s wet with that mud on the road, how far would a vehicle skid?

What we all could have done with on that site in Bocking was a decent shopping centre with all of the essential things that most of us need, this would then perhaps encourage a bus company to put a regular bus service along Church Lane, something the elderly population must have.

Also take a look at the amount of asphalt used, it gives the impression of a aircraft runway.
