The FA have today released the National League System (NLS) club allocations for Steps 1-6.

These allocations are subject to appeals and any amendments to these will be confirmed in due course.

The constitution for the Essex Senior League is as follows:

Stansted and Sawbridgeworth Town return to the league after one season in the Spartan South Midlands League, while Benfleet are promoted from the Thurlow Nunn League Division One South. None of the teams relegated from Step 4 leagues have been placed in the ESL.
