At our Lakeside site, National Grid are completing essential maintenance work on their new electricity pylons - unfortunately this means a few road closures from now until the 14th of August.  Don't worry, we're still open as usual, but there are diversions in place.  Access to us is now through the Arena Essex main entrance, situated on the roundabout between the Thurrock services and the road leading down to Tesco, Decathlon etc.  If you're coming from the M25 it's pretty simple, just take the turn before the closure into Arena Essex and follow the road. If you're coming from the Grays end, you'll need to follow the diversion (yellow signs) round and through the retail park, and then make your way to Arena Essex – it’s clearly signposted. It is also worth mentioning that the closures won't be in place all day, but first thing until mid afternoon/early evening.  During the week this really shouldn't add more than a few minutes to your journeys, but at weekends we are politely asking that everyone allows at least an extra 30 minutes, just to be on the safe side. Again, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
