There are only 2 roads off of Canvey Island.
There is a huge oil storage facility on the island (like Buncefield).
Today the major route off the Island (A130) got blocked because a petrol tanker coming off the island caught fire.
Blockage of the main route happens often and nothing gets done to improve things (well, not in the 40 years I've been here).
A13 heading east Closed, A130 South onto Canvey CLOSED, A130 North off of Canvey CLOSED.
Local council & MP are surprised that local residents are concerned about what might happen in a real emergency.
It beggars belief. Yes, accidents happen, but having no "options" is a disaster waiting to happen.
