Volunteers – known as ‘Tour Makers’ – will be needed on Monday July 7 2014, as Stage 3 of Le Tour makes its way down Saffron Walden high street, taking in Radwinter, The Sampfords and Felsted, before heading to London to finish on the Mall in front of Buckingham Palace.

Residents have until Monday January 20 to register their interest by visiting HERE

Those who register will be contacted when more details on the application process and volunteering opportunities become available.

Tour Makers will be on the front line to welcome the world and help millions of spectators have a fantastic time.

The peloton will arrive in Saffron Walden from Cambridge, where Stage 3 begins, entering via Windmill Hill before continuing down High Street, turning left on to George Street, travelling up Hill Street and then out towards Radwinter via East Street and the B1053. It will also pass through Finchingfield. The momentous occasion coincides with Saffron Walden Carnival, an eight-day spectacular which will run from July 4-12.

Essex county councillor Ann Naylor, cabinet member for public health & wellbeing, said: “We are looking forward to welcoming Le Tour in Essex in 2014, building on our county’s success hosting other great sporting events such as the Olympic Mountain Biking event and the Torch Relay for London 2012.

“As we saw with those events, the contribution made by hard working volunteers really helps to make them special, so if you would like to get involved and become a ‘Tour Maker’ for Stage 3, I urge you to sign up now.”

The roads are clear here in Felsted but the snow shows no sign of melting anywhere else.

See you at ExCeL whatever the weather!!

Difficult to beat these really cold days in the run up to Christmas!!

The ice never left the puddles, even the birds are staying in the hedgerows and yet all day there has been been a brilliant blue sky with non-stop sunshine. Essex has its critics but I feel we are doing better than Scotland on the weather front and I will happily put up with the constant Towie criticism!!

I have read a lot of praise for The Caravan Club’s annual booking day on Wednesday of this week and I can join in that praise. I wanted to get four bookings in on very specific dates in 2012 and by 10.30am I had all four – at Chatsworth, Broadway, Houghton Mill and Baltic Wharf.
