Work has begun to ease road safety worries and traffic congestion around Southend High School for Girls, in Southchurch Boulevard.

It is being carried out by Southend Council as part of its Safer Journeys to School programme.

A purpose built turning facility and waiting bay for school buses is being constructed within the school premises, allowing them to pull off the road, reducing congestion and providing a safer dropping off point for pupils.
