A STUDENT has launched a campaign to tackle congestion problems on an estate in Wivenhoe.

Mo Metcalf-Fisher, president of Essex University’s Conservative Future party, has vowed to tackle parking problems outside One Stop, in Vine Farm Road.

Mr Metcalf-Fisher, who is hoping to stand as a candidate in the area in the next local election, has been asking residents to sign a petition which he hopes to present to Essex County Council bosses next week.

The petition is calling for the area to be transformed to allow more parking spaces in the hope of easing congestion.
