RESURFACING work will begin on the A120 in an effort to improve conditions after the trunk road was branded “unsafe” for use.

Overnight work on the A120 at Horsley Cross will start on Monday from 8pm and is due to finish on Thursday, if weather permits.

It comes after complaints were made earlier this year that parts of the road from Harwich to Horsley Cross were dangerous.

Harwich mayor Dave McLeod called for urgent action to be taken to improve the road.

“I am really pleased that it is going to be done," he said.
