Although The Tour de France is not coming through Maldon, residents can still apply to be a volunteer to help at the cycling event.

The competition route will be going through parts of Uttlesford, Braintree, Chelmsford and Epping Forest on July 7.

Tour Maker volunteers will be on the frontline to ensure spectators have a great time.

Anyone who wants to apply needs to register their interest by January 20 at http://letour.yorkshire.com/tour-makers.
