Cllr Finch, ECC • Local Government Reform – July published paper on Government’s aspiration to move to unitary authorities. Leaders and Chief Executives in Greater Essex, and the Police, Crime & Fire Commissioner, have met to discuss the future of Local Government across the county. Opportunity to discuss the government steer and consider the opportunities for improving the Local Government system and discuss how to progress and next steps. White Paper will now be considered middle of next year due to Brexit, effects of pandemic and Planning White Paper. Due to its size (1.5m) Essex would not consider as a single unitary but a combination of 4 unitaries. Ridgewell Parish Council Agenda – 12th November 2020 Page 1 Ridgewell Parish Council • Covid 19, rationale behind moving from tier 1 to 2 – concerns that growth rate in the North very high. Scientific evidence indicated growth rate of infection was doubling every week. At that time Thurrock reported 125 per 100,000 and other hotspots in Basildon, Epping forecast, Uttlefords and Brentwood. After consultation with MPs/business leaders and evaluating scientific evidence it was agreed to move to Tier 2 to intervene early too save lives, jobs and hospital capacity. Essex allocated £4.2m to help with T2 restrictions; 50% allocated to welfare schemes i.e. hungry holidays, food camps, CAB, food banks, mental health and domestic violence and 50% allocated to the hospitality sector; Braintree allocated £5m to support businesses. After ‘lockdown 2’ will be applying to move back down to T1 with easing restrictions; balancing act of reducing infection and protecting the economy. • Local Government Finance. 49,000 business and 193,000 people have been supported during pandemic to date that equates to a 3% drop in Council Tax collection, a £18-20m gap this year. In 2021/22 could be an even bigger gap with the cessation of furlough and funding schemes, forecast £50-60m gap. Government announced that local councils will be given leeway and will be allowed to use capital receipts to fund revenue costs (3 year roll over). • Illegal Rave – Ridgewell Airfield. Estimated that 1,000 people attended, concerns raised that Police action was very slow. Asst Chief Constable has given assurances that the Police will ‘step up’ to prevent further serious instances taking place in the future. Cllr Benwell reported that the response from Police was ludicrous and it would have been fairly easy to stop people entering the site. Police presence at White Horse but did nothing to disperse attendees, they were all over the village on Sunday. Disturbing photos show the substantial waste dumped at elderly person’s property, received an email from BDC asking whether the PC can help with clearing the waste. Cllr Finch agreed that there was minimal effort and not a good response for dealing with the incident. Will speak to B J Harrington, Chief Constable about the lax Police response. • Flooding: Cllr Benwell raised the issue of flooding all around Ridgewell, in particular 5 properties on Chapel Road. Constant stream running down the road. Essex Highways were effective at installing a kerb, but have not addressed the issue of the blocked drains. Residents living in fear of homes being flooded. Same inspector being sent to inspect site initially for the flooding and then again for the blocked drains, but nothing happening. ACTION: Cllr Benwell to forward details to Cllr Finch to investigate. • Road Closures. Cllr steward enquired about local road closures and the lack of notice of roads being closed; very annoying especially if you’re travelling cross country i.e. signs stating that the road is intending to be closed but not actually closed or there is no indication of works being undertaken. Cllr Finch reported statutory organisations like ‘open reach’ are able to close roads to undertake street works which are necessary to provide and maintain utility and transport services. Contact the local area officer at BT Open Reach to register concerns and possible road closures. 20/213 Planning Applications To consider applications received as at 05/11/20. 20/01710/HH | Erection of single-storey side extension to existing garage/annex. Wash Farm Barn Three Chimneys Lane Ridgewell Essex CO9 4PJ. RESOLVED: No objections, in support of application.

  • Happy Bottom Eighth in the East
    Ridgewell Airfield Commemorative Association Happy Bottom 70 years ago this month a famous American actor came to Ridgewell. Fresh from filming ‘Mr. Winkle Goes to War’, Hollywood star, Edward G. Robinson, arrived to christen a new B-17 in honour of his wife. On 5 July 1944, Ridgewell came to a standstill. Not just for the war, but for movie actor Edward G. Robinson (alias "Rico" Bandello, a small-time crook from the movie, Little Caesar) who’d arrived to christen a new B- 17G which had recently been assigned to the 532nd Bomb Squadron. Base Chaplain James Good Brown was one of the first to greet him. He was left suitably impressed. “What a man!” Brown later wrote. “Of all the actors who came to the base, he showed the most human interest. He was never acting. He just wanted to walk around the base talking to the President—Dave Osborne men, and the men wanted to talk to him.” Chairman—Jim Tennet Robinson broke his gangster persona making the watching Treasurer—Jenny Tennet Secretary—Mike Land men howl with laughter when he announced that he was Membership Secretary—Alan Steel naming the new aircraft ‘Happy Bottom’ after his wife, Historian—Chris Tennet Gladys, which he cleverly mispronounced, ‘Glad Ass’. Volunteer—Monica Steel The actor was a big hit. “When he left the base, he left with Aki Bingley several thousand men as his friends,” said Chaplain Brown. DEDICATED TO THE MEN OF RAF 90 SQUADRON, 94 AND 95 MAINTENANCE UNITS AND USAAF 381ST BOMB GROUP Newsletter JULY 2014 Sadly, Happy Bottom didn’t fare so well.

At the Issues and Options stage, distinct alternative options were set out for some of the issues; however for other issues the consultation questions simply asked for comment on suggested policy criteria. Where this was the case, rather than selecting one option as the Preferred Approach and rejecting others, the consultation responses received were used to inform the development of the option into a more detailed Preferred Approach. However, other factors also influenced the development of the Preferred Approaches, including the outcomes of the Issues and Options consultation workshops that were held in 2010 and input from Essex and Southend Councils and, and so the Preferred Approaches do not always directly correlate with an option put forward at the Issues and Options stage. In each case, this appendix demonstrates why the options that are reflected in the Preferred Approaches were chosen over other potential approaches, or where the Preferred Approach represents a departure from any of the earlier options, why this was.

  • Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry
    Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry Profile 2020 i September 2020 Thank you for taking the time to look at our Team Profile. We completed this in early March 2020 just before COVID-19 changed all our lives. We hope you will enjoy finding out more about our vibrant town and village ministries. During lockdown we have taken to Zoom and the telephone to keep in touch with each other and to continue to worship God together. You will find lots of information about our Church at Home and our online services on www.stmaryssaffronwalden.org and our village websites (which can be reached from the relevant pages of the profile). We have established a Pastoral Support team to help the vulnerable and isolating members of our congregation with shopping, collection of prescriptions and providing a listening ear. Many of our members have signed up to help as an NHS Volunteer, at the local foodbanks and with local support initiatives. We started reopening our churches in July in accordance with the current guidelines and are now holding a limited number of services in all the churches in the team. Many of our services are livestreamed and we are continuing to provide ministry online as well as face to face. We pray that as you discover more about us that you will feel God’s prompting. If it seems that this might be the ministry for you, please contact Archdeacon Robin King for a discussion. We hope that we will not need to wait too long to welcome our next Team Rector but we know that the timing is in God’s hands.
