• Leigh Foundry car park Cllr Ian Gilbert, leader of the council, said: “We have all endured such a challenging year, and I am so proud of how our residents have risen to the challenges put before them. However, locally and regionally we have seen rapid rise in cases, and we must act now to protect our local NHS. A major incident has been declared, and this means we have to take responsible action, and so the decision has been made to close all seafront car parks to deter too many visitors coming into the area at this time. “The announcement made by the Essex Resilience Forum amplifies the necessity to follow the rules. NHS and social care staff are already working at full capacity, and rising hospital admissions is only exacerbating this problem.
