Stephen Metcalfe MP reiterates his support for Frost Estate residents


In a meeting last week Stephen Metcalfe, local MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock, reiterated his support for Frost Estate residents seeking to improve local road conditions.

The condition of the roads has long been a concern for local residents who fear that they will continue to deteriorate if action is not taken. Mr Metcalfe attended a meeting of the community steering group to continue to discuss practical ways in which the roads can start to be made fit for purpose.

The steering group consists of a group of local residents who have volunteered to drive the process forward and represent the interests of the Frost Estate. One of their key aims is to ensure residents are kept informed of progress and they are in the process of producing a newsletter that will be delivered to every household.

Mr Metcalfe later commented: “This was a very positive meeting. The steering group are working together to find constructive solutions to a problem that is affecting many people in the community.”

“Whilst I am in no position to impose a solution, I will do all I can to work with the local community and with the steering group to help them to achieve their aims.”

“I always welcome the opportunity to keep in touch with local residents and I look forward to my continuing work with the steering group.”
