Another crash at accident blackspot in Clacton
5:30pm Wednesday 19th September 2012 in News
A CONCERNED resident claims it is only a matter of time before someone is killed at an accident blackspot following another crash.
There has been a series of crashes at the junction between Ellis Road and West Avenue in Clacton.
In the latest incident at the spot, two cars smashed into each other at about 6pm on Monday.
No one was seriously hurt in the collision, but nearby residents say the road needs to be changed.
Brenda Grindrod, of Ellis Road said: “It is usually cars coming from West Avenue and not stopping as they go across Ellis Road.
“All of the residents around here are fed up of seeing cars crash into each there.
“One of these days I know somebody will be killed there. It is not an ‘if’ but a ‘when’.
“It is dangerous for pedestrians too because people pull out without stopping.”
Mrs Grindrod wants to see the ‘Give Way’ signs on West Avenue changed to ‘Stop’ signs, to encourage drivers to stop and look before entering the junction.
Essex County Council will visit the site, and encouraged residents to report any concerns they had about the safety of the road.

Some developers have been known to use cookies to gather information without the user's knowledge. Perhaps this is one reason behind why they have been erroneously tagged as spyware. Usually this form of abuse stems from using cookies differently then the developer has stated in their privacy policy through omission or deception. This type of abuse is typically very difficult to pinpoint. Normally this type of abuse is not a major security threat but more a threat to the end user’s privacy.
Another point of potential and common abuse is in the work environment. IT Managers have been known to audit cookies. This means they may look through cookie folders and URL surfing history to determine where a user has been surfing or what they are doing with their time at the workstation. Cookies can provide a lot of information on a user’s surfing habits if you know where to look. For example it is easy to probe through the browser and other program’s data to get a general idea of what a user is doing online or where they are shopping. Likewise it will show if a user’s machine has been connected to a URL that serves adult content. This is a case of a benign technology being abused for covert purposes.
I have had them looked at by an it expert they are NOT benign by a long shot
