A major road has been closed in both directions after a serious field fire.

The A133 is shut between Weeley roundabout and Little Clacton following the blaze, which was reported earlier today (Monday, July 6).

It is not yet known how long the closure will remain in place. Motorists are being advised to avoid the area where possible and allow extra time for their journeys.

Fire crews and police are at the scene, and both Essex County Fire and Rescue Service and Essex Police have been approached for further information.
