The closure of the Hatfield Peverel junctions must be reconsidered. The village is growing rapidly and is largely commuter populated. With the worsening train service from the station, more people are using vehicles. You only have to look at the traffic through the village on a normal day to see how busy it gets, and that is with entry and exit junctions. At present there is no access to the A12 northbound at Boreham so this traffic is all diverting through Hatfield Peverel and it is very clear to see the road cannot handle that volume of traffic. The A12 junctions are vital.
