A ROAD known for its pothole problems is set to be repaired next month.

Station Road in Tiptree has been an issue for residents and the parish council.

Essex Highways will close the road from its junction with Cherry Chase to its junction with Church Road on March 8.

The five-day closure is to undertake carriageway patchworks.

Pedestrian and emergency vehicle access will be maintained, and alternative routes are available in Maldon Road, Church Road, and Station Road.
