Cressing A120 Action Group
A vast swathe of rural Essex is under threat from the so-called 'A120 Braintree to Marks Tey Improvement'.
The name is misleading as the route proposed does not involve any improvements to the existing A120. The Highways Agency has proposed a new four-, possibly six-lane road involving an overall land take of 122.4ha of the best and most versatile agricultural land.
The proposed route would have an adverse impact on the Conservation Areas of Cressing, Silver End and Feering, and pass through both the Brain Valley and Blackwater Valley Special Landscape Areas. Cressing residents are particularly concerned about a proposed new split level junction on the Braintree/Tye Green green wedge.
Latest News : September 2008: The cost of the project has now risen from £312m to £444m.
