Plans for a new northern bypass for Southend could again be on the agenda at Essex County Council.

Prominent Rochford farmer and parish councillor Humphrey Squier gave the news to a meeting of the Southend Business and Tourism Partnership.

He said county council planners told him a bypass was under consideration for the future.

It would take traffic away from the busy A127 Southend Arterial Road.
