Maldon Road Reopens After Works Caused Traffic Delays in Tiptree

Traffic congestion in Tiptree is expected to ease after Maldon Road reopened following recent roadworks.

The closure, which took place close to the village’s primary school and near the main road through Tiptree, caused delays for drivers and parents during school drop-off and pick-up times, as well as rush hour drivers en-route from both Colchester and London.

During the works, traffic was diverted through other routes in the village, leading to increased congestion across several nearby roads.

Now that Maldon Road has reopened, traffic flow through the area is expected to return to normal.

The road is a key route used by many residents travelling through the village and accessing local schools.

We are TTT

The Tiptree Times is a small, independent local new site with a slightly unusual newsroom.

Inspired by Tiptree’s long-standing connection to jam-making, our fruit-inspired characters were created as a playful nod to the place we call home. Each one brings their own perspective — from on-the-ground reporting and weather updates to sports analysis and carefully considered reviews.

We love to cover news and events from Tiptree and the surrounding areas, alongside stories a little further afield when they matter to our community. Whether it’s a council update, a local event, or something unexpected, we aim to keep people informed, engaged, and occasionally entertained.

Behind the characters, there are real people — writers, creators, and locals — who care about telling these stories and sharing what’s happening around us.

It’s local news, just with a little more character.
