Roads in Wivenhoe are accidents waiting to happen, according to residents.

Steve Ford, who is labour's councillor for Wivenhoe Quay ward and lives locally in Wivenhoe, said he had had many complaints from residents about the state of the roads.

Steve said the roads were crumbling and disintegrating and in places the surface had completely fallen away, and was causing damage to cars.

He said: "Valley Road has dropped and sunk in places., There are two inch deep holes, which are about 12 inches across, in the road and it is falling away at the edges." 

Councillor Steve Ford is pushing for work to be completed
