ESSEX. HeritageLive has confirmed the cancellation of its summer music festival at Audley End Estate following the collapse of critical funding negotiations at the eleventh hour. The historic Essex venue was one of three prestigious locations affected when the independent promoter announced it could no longer proceed with planned events.
North West Essex MP Kemi Badenoch has said she has written urgently to Uttlesford District Council, a Government minister and London Stansted Airport after receiving further information from residents about the unauthorised airport parking operation at New Farm in Elsenham.
