Witham has UK’s longest-running roadworks

Available for over a year

Ten years ago a set of temporary traffic lights in Witham were switched on for the very first time. One decade and at least half a million pounds later, the roadworks are still in place. According to National Highways they are the longest running on its 4,500-mile network anywhere in the country. So what's it like living and working around these never-ending repairs? ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ reporter Stuart Woodward hears from some of those who are affected, including Councillor Phil Barlow and Tina Townsend from the Witham Hub Community Centre...
