PITSEA Recycling Centre has re-opened after being closed for five days following a missing person probe.

Bosses confirmed the site has now re-opened after having to close due to a police incident relating to the investigation of missing mum, Madison Wright.

Wat Tyler Country Park has also been closed since last Saturday, however, unlike Pitsea Recycling Centre, still remains shut.

The closures come after a body was found in Wat Tyler Country Park at the weekend.
