Residents will be meeting Braintree and Witham MP Alan Hurst tonight to discuss possible solutions for traffic problems caused by the A12.
The meeting has been organised by the MP and will be attended by members of Kelvedon and Feering Parish Council, Kelvedon and Feering Heritage society and Highways Agency officials.
Parish council clerk Jill Hinds said the focus of the meeting would be to look at traffic problems relating to the A12 and in particular road safety and slip roads.
She said: "The Kelvedon and Feering Heritage Society has been very proactive in pursuing various options. Now one of the members has come up with some engineering and structural drawings of possible solutions to traffic flow problems which they will be sharing."
She said that both groups had hoped for some kind of solution to arise from the multi-modal traffic study Lois, which has been creating a plan for transport along the London to Ipswich corridor, but the main concerns of the study were different to their own.
She explained: "They are concerned with the A12 as a trunk road, but it is not only a trunk road. For us it is our local road. We have different priorities to those using it as a trunk road in terms of junctions and slip roads, which were not the concern of Lois."
