This is a victory for people in and around #Ingatestone who have campaigned to have their voices heard. An offshore alternative to the #pylons will now have to be considered. This is a major step forward but there is still a long way to go.

Good news! @PylonsEAnglia

Tonight our Enforcement Team have patrolled areas where antisocial behaviour has been reported, including council car parks where cars have been spotted driving dangerously. We’ve also supported South Essex Parking Partnership in dealing with parking issues on the High Street.

IFPC are highly concerned about this initiative - we are going to request an explanation from our elected representative @LesleyWagland over the complete lack of consultation on this issue.

UPDATE - A12 Northbound - CLOSED between J12 (Shenfield) and J14 (Margaretting) – due to a burst water main and ice. The closure may be in place until the early hours of tomorrow morning. Slow traffic northbound on the B1002 diversion route through Mountnessing and Ingatestone.
