MULTIPLE car incidents have been seen by residents around Brands Hill as the roadworks chaos continues.
The temporary roundabout at the junction of Sutton Lane and roadworks have been going on for a while and locals have shared their frustration on how long the work is taking to complete.
Cllr Madhuri Bedi (Foxborough Ward) has been looking into this issue and has raised the number of incidents that have happened to the council and National Highways.
A council spokesperson previously said: “Our Major Infrastructure Projects Engineer is visiting the site every week and will be visiting on Thursday this week to review the works.”

And Cllr Bedi has confirmed she will be meeting the National Highways team at the site this week to discuss how the road can be made safer for drivers.
Earlier this week, Slough Observer spoke to Surinder Rai, who lives on Brands Road.
She said she witnessed a major incident around five weeks ago where a car was left on its side.
“I panic every time I come out of my road,” she said.
“This has been going on for two years now and the roundabout is even more confusing if you’re not familiar with the area.”
