RESURFACING work is due on a busy Colchester double roundabout, Essex Highways has confirmed.

The pothole on the roundabout between Layer Road and Berechurch Hall Road has been causing problems for drivers on a daily basis.

Residents in the area and councillors alike claim they had been reporting the problem for weeks beforehand, to no avail. 

However, it has been confirmed that resurfacing work will begin on April 22.

A spokesperson for Essex Highways said: "The resurfacing works at Berechurch Hall Road and Layer Road roundabout are due to take place as part of the 2024/25 capital works programme.

"There will be a road closure in place at all times due to the nature of works, and to protect the workforce and road users. However, access for emergency vehicles and residents will be maintained.

"Diversion routes will be in place at all times, from Gosbecks Road, B1022, A134 Southway, B1025, and Berechurch Road.
