Proposed new prisons in Wethersfield: Public Consultation

Having reviewed a number of sites across the country, we believe that land at RAF Wethersfield in Braintree would be an appropriate location 2 new prisons.

Before we progress with these proposals, we want to engage with you and your local community to ensure your views are considered and to share with you the benefits that a potential new prison will bring to Wethersfield and the surrounding area, such as: creating new and local employment opportunities; offering apprenticeships; upskilling people in construction; and spending locally and with social enterprises.
