Foxhall Road in Steeple is closed for road works from today (September 21) until Saturday, Essex Highways has announced.

Essex Highways says the three-day closure is required for the safety of the public and workforce while workers undertake "Carriageway Patching".

'Patching' takes place to repair the road surface. It involves removing a part of the surface around a pothole and placing a new patch of road surface.
