🎉🌟 A HUGE shout out to all the volunteers who joined us yesterday for the City Centre Day of Action!

Around 30 volunteers helped us transform the area around Queen St! 🙌 We collected 100 bags of litter, spoke to local businesses & provided community support from our stand.

From this Friday, Essex will be the host for the RideLondon Classique and RideLondon-Essex event 🚴

To ensure the safety of everyone taking part in RideLondon-Essex, road closures are necessary.
