1st September – UPDATE
Due to the swift response and collaboration between Essex Police and the Town Council, we can now confirm that the travellers were escorted from the Recreation Ground last night. Thank you for your patience.

We have been made aware in the last hour of an illegal encampment at the Recreation Ground, Braintree Road entrance.

The relevant authorities have been informed and are aware of the situation.

Please report any anti-social behaviour directly to the police by dialling 101 or online at essex.police.uk via live chat.

Thank you to the residents that contacted us with the information today.

We will keep our residents updated.

Essex Electric Vehicle Charge Point Strategy

Essex Highways are currently consulting on the Essex Electric Vehicle Charge Point Strategy.

A switch to electric vehicles (EVs) can contribute to improving air quality and achieving net zero goals. Although only part of the solution, EVs have a key role to play, alongside work to encourage sustainable transport options, such as walking, cycling and bus travel.

To support the shift to EVs, residents, businesses and visitors to Essex must be able to access a reliable, convenient, accessible and fairly priced network of charging points.

To help achieve this, the draft Essex Electric Vehicle Charge Point Strategy sets out what we want the charging network to look like in Essex, what we can do to unlock funding, and how we can work with businesses and public sector partners to help meet demand.

Read more about the Essex Electric Vehicle Charge Point Strategy in our public consultation brochure and have your say by completing our short consultation survey.

For any queries on the strategy please contact the project team at ElectricVehicleStrategy@essexhighways.org

Kind regards,
Essex Electric Vehicle Charge Point Strategy project team
