More crossings and slower traffic says James Gardner

James Gardner is campaigning for action on all the traffic problems affecting Old Moulsham and Chelmsford Town Centre. James (who is Lib Dem candidate in next Friday's by-election for the area) wants to see 20mph speed limits introduced in the core area of Moulsham Street and surrounding residential streets.

Said James, "Many of you have complained to me about speeding traffic and danger to pedestrians, especially children and the older folk. We must get this Moulsham Street enhancement Scheme off the drawing board and implemented fast. For too long we have been fobbed off with delays.

"Improvements to the Springfield Road junction with Navigation Road are long overdue and the suggestion from the council of demolishing High Bridge Road will cause huge disruption to the people of this area.

"The high levels of pollution on the Army & Navy roundabout and surrounding busy roads must be reduced and fast. I am fed up with the excuses about the poor street cleansing and the rubbish and weeds; we deserve better.

"I want to see the various communities which make up Old Moulsham and the town centre area strengthened so that the quality of all our lives is improved for this and future generations."
