A NEW pedestrian crossing has been installed on Shrub End Road to help those using the doctors surgery.

The crossing has been campaigned for for the past 14 years, and following a survey on the number of pedestrians in the area it has been given the go-ahead.

Michael Page, a spokesman for Essex County Council, said: β€œThe decision to install a new pedestrian crossing on Shrub End Road has been taken following requests from the local community, and a survey conducted on the number of pedestrians using the road.

β€œEssex County Council is always willing to listen to requests and comments from local residents.”
