During the works, there will be no access for any vehicles belonging to the general public. Pedestrian access is unaffected by the closure.

Alternative car parking will be at the Southend Road Pay and Display public car park opposite the Old Fire Station in Hockley.

The council apologised any inconvenience caused whilst the work is carried out.
