Station car park to be resurfaced

Hertford East is one of 19 stations set to be 'upgraded' by Greater Anglia next month.

The train operating company will be carrying out work to repair potholes, apply new markings, and repair tarmac surfaces at the 17-space carpark.

The station car parks being upgraded are Althorne, Beccles, Billericay, Clacton-on- Sea, Colchester, Diss, Harlow Town, Herford East, Hockley, Marks Tey, North Fambridge, Rayleigh, Rochford, Sawbridgeworth, Shenfield, Shippea Hill, Southminster, Weeley and Wickford.

Work will begin at the majority of these stations in November,

Greater Anglia’s Asset Management Director, Simone Bailey, said: "It is really important that our car parks are maintained to a high standard so that we meet the expectations of our customers by providing them with excellent facilities.

"I am pleased that these upgrades are taking place and I hope that our hard work will make a real difference for users.

"During the upgrades, we will do everything we can to minimise inconvenience to car park and station users and we will endeavour to keep noise and disturbance to our neighbours to a minimum."
