Fraud Survey

Closes 8 June 2025

This survey is being carried out by Essex’s Multi Agency Approach to Fraud group. The partnership brings together agencies including the Police, local councils and community groups to find ways to protect people from fraud/scams and support victims. There are many different types of fraud – from phishing to pension scams to prize draw scams to door stop traders – and we know that any of us could unfortunately fall victim at some point.

Supported Local Bus Services

Closes 27 October 2025

Essex County Council is pleased to announce the launch of the Public Consultation on Supported Local Bus Services.

Bus services are important to all of us. An effective bus network helps all communities to thrive by:

Supporting economic growth by getting people to work, training and school.
Supporting an improved Essex environment through the reduction of air quality and carbon emissions.
Allowing young people, older people and those with disabilities or without cars to travel.
Helping to support diverse and thriving communities and,
Helping to combat loneliness and isolation.

Please note:
The majority of buses in Essex, around 85% of the network, are operated commercially and this consultation does not include commercial bus services.

Consultation Period
Opens: 4 August 2025
Closes: 27 October 2025
