Better public transport options would help ease parking congestion problems in Witham, according to frustrated residents and commuters.

Last week the town council resolved to prioritise introducing parking restrictions on the Moat Farm estate, which would see on-street parking banned on each side of the road for an hour a day.

But train users are demanding that provisions are made to improve the parking situation before restrictions are brought in.

David Bigg, chairman of the Witham and Braintree Rail Users Association, said: “A quick fix is having bus services running until at least 10pm."
