Not really.

In Cambridge, the closures start at 5.30pm on Sunday, the core closes at
4am and whole route through Cambridgshire is pretty much locked down
from 7am.

In Essex it looks like this:

Uttlesford and Braintree: 7.30am to 4pm
Chelmsford: 8am to 5pm
Epping DC: north of the A414 closed 8am opened 5pm.
Epping DC: south of the A414 and including the A414 closed 9am opened
5pm."

Seriously, deal with it. If it really bothers you that much, take a
holiday


It would be nice if the schools had an amnesty that day for parents
taking their children out of school; after all quite a few won't have
the means to get there anyway, let alone the idea of being a
spectator.

Some schools, and many businesses, are of course on the route, and will
be landlocked all day.


FSVO "whole route". A large part of the north and east sides of the city
centre will be open.

The "landlocked" schools include my granddaughter's and that will only be
hard to access by car. On foot and by bicycle will be fine. I think it's
going to close anyway.
