Crunch talks to thrash out whether or not a new stadium for Canvey Football Club should go ahead will take place at the end of this month.

Canvey FC wants to leave its Park Lane ground and move to a multi-million pound stadium at Waterside Farm, Canvey.

A decision has been on hold until Castle Point Council's planning committee meet with the Environment Agency and the county highway experts.

Canvey councillor Ray Howard said: "With Canvey now in the Conference League the reality is the team are going to attract a lot bigger crowds."
