National Grid Consultation about Pylon Route in Broomfield and the Walthams
The National Grid has just begun a consultation about a high voltage power line from Norwich to Tilbury. The initial proposal is for pylons to take this power line through Broomfield and the Walthams to Writtle and beyond. See the map – the purple shaded area is the approximate new route and the blue line is the existing route.

Broomfield Parish Council will be studying the plans and deciding how to respond. If you’d like to tell us your views or hear from us on this and/or other planning matters, please e-mail us at: planning@broomfield-pc.gov.uk
Transport and Travel Update
Major Changes to First Essex Bus Network
There are substantial network changes to both routes and timetables with effect from Sunday 17 April.
These changes are in response to the change in travel habits. Some buses will run earlier and later in the day, some more/less often and there will be new networks in the Basildon, Chelmsford and Colchester areas.
See further information on the First Essex Buses website.
As well as other changes, routes 40, 42, 45, 51, 54, 56, 57 (and their variants) are to be withdrawn and replaced by the new Chelmsford shuttle network. Further information about the changes affecting Chelmsford can be found here.
