Connect us to each other and the world

Essex has an unbeatable location – close proximity to London, a gateway to Europe and links to the rest of the world.

Our ambition is to amplify the possibilities our location offers, by unshackling us from cars and congestion with efficient, modern and sustainable transport networks and digitally connected homes and businesses.

Our priority...Tackling congestion on our roads and railways, securing large scale investment in low carbon modes of transport and delivering super-fast broadband to every part of Essex.
