With 100 days to go before the Tour de France visits Epping Forest, the county council has launched its own Twitter account dedicated to the event.
Information and “entertaining” tweets will be posted using the handle @LeTourEssex.
Councillor David Finch, Leader of Essex County Council, said on the Twitter feed: “I declare this twitter feed officially open - and look forward to reading everyone’s #TDF tweets.”
