For all those going into southend tonight please do be warned of the following:

The police are apparently planning another one of their "stings" as they call them!

As you come into Southend just before BMW Fairfields there is a Ind Site on your left, apparently they will be shutting it down to one lane & pulling alot of cars over etc.

They do it every so many months & tonight apparently is going to be one of those times!!

Please do be careful as they are quite harsh on drivers & their cars!!

I'm unsure as to what time they are set to start but I remember last year is caused mayhem down by that bit of A127!!

If your thinking of going perhaps take the A13 into Southend instead
