South Woodham Ferrers and Southminster police stations are earmarked for closure while Maldon will see a reduction in opening hours under new proposals.

The proposed closures were made by chief constable Stephen Kavanagh.

If the proposals go ahead after a period of consultation, Maldon Police Station will no longer open from noon-6pm Monday to Saturday.

Its new opening hours would be 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.
