General
Witham is adjacent to the A12 and on the main railway line to London and the East Anglian Coast. It is a pleasant residential and local shopping town, strategically located between Chelmsford and Colchester to the West and East, and Braintree and Maldon to the North and South. In addition, because of its proximity to London and Harwich/Felixstowe it is an ideal location for modern industrial and commercial development providing direct routes to the markets around London and giving access to Europe. With the opening of the new A120, Witham is now approximately 30 minutes from Stansted Airport.

Bus and Coach Services
Various local and long distance services are operated in the Witham area. For instance, there are regular buses serving Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester and Maldon, as well as coaches to Victoria Coach Station in central London. Coach tour companies use the same pick up point (by the old Post Office) for organised holidays in the UK and abroad.
