A BLOCKED pavement which has been making life difficult for residents for months is expected to be cleared this week.
 

Parts of the path near the junction of Berechurch Road and Mersea Road have been cordoned off and bus stops closed since January while homes are built in Roberts Road.
 

As a result elderly people and the disabled have been struggling to get to the shops or into town.
 

But it is now hoped the path will be cleared by Thursday.
