Braintree and North Essex Implementation Plan

This section is specifically about our Braintree and North Essex Implementation Plan. 

It is one of 13 implementation plans we have developed to set out how we aim to deliver our vision and outcomes in different parts of Essex.

The Braintree and North Essex Implementation Plan covers the area between the growing cities of Colchester, Chelmsford and Cambridge, bordering the counties of Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. The area is the heart of rural Essex, with three main market towns: Braintree, Witham and Halstead, along with several smaller towns and rural villages.
