Essex County Council previously said that there is no link between bookings being on hold and the current consultation and that it would be incorrect to link the two.
But in response to those reports, A number of registrars have now spoken out over the plans to move officers currently on temporary contracts to permanent positions.
One individual, who wished to remain anonymous, has insisted that the council IS being forced to halt wedding bookings until October due to the uncertainty over how many registrars will be available over the coming months.
