The Great ‘Why Couldn’t They See It Coming’ Debate

I wrote last month of the tragic death figures related to “smart” to have read the Focus back in March 2018 and taken action and motorways. Nine in ten drivers feel unsafe on these roads and with maybe lives would have been saved… The person chairing this group good reason. I am so incensed by the stupidity of both the was none other than Sir Mike Penning, the very man who as Minister Government and Highways in this matter that I feel obliged to approved the roll-out after the pilot. He has since said that he had been return to it. I apologise if I risk boring the reader but the profile of this misled about the risks of taking away the hard shoulder! What a lunacy needs to be raised at all levels including local in the hope we will buffoon, any reasonably intelligent person with a grain of common return to our conventional motorways with a permanent hard shoulder sense could foresee that it was inherently dangerous and would lead across our entire motorway infrastructure. to more deaths on our already dangerous motorways. What he effectively rubberstamped was permission to put drivers in the firing The scheme was introduced in 2010 after a seemingly successful pilot line without anywhere to shelter. I think the prefix Sir is sometimes a on the M42 near Birmingham. The pilot made the hard shoulder active warning of how incompetent one can be! (Present company exempted with emergency refuge stopping points every 500metres. The first roll- that is.) out increased the intervals to 600metres until today where some can be as far apart as 2,500metres! Yes, two and half kilometres…talk And yet the Government is still talking of investing more in this scheme about mission creep and getting the balance between costs and lives with promises of installing radar detection across the smart motorway spectacularly wrong! No driver can predict at exactly what precise network within the next three years and of increasing the frequency location on a motorway he or she will encounter problems. Refuge of the safe stop laybys. Oh dear! Just stand in the middle of the bridge areas spaced that far apart are more than likely to be unreachable. between the Fleet services over the M3 and watch the traffic go by. It is like watching bullets being fired out of a gun…anything not moving Now, the proponents of smart motorways will talk of the economic in that shooting gallery is fair game! benefits of keeping the traffic flowing in our land. They will also assure us that once a vehicle is stationary it is immediately detected and the I also wanted to revisit the issues around Terrorist Release, Private lane is closed off. Well not physically, just visually that is with an Landlords, Social Housing, Hospital Agency Staff, Environmental electronic red cross that may escape the attention of the careless Service, School Academies and the Public Purse but I have probably driver or invoke disdain from the uncaring driver. written enough for this month and for the stamina of the reader.

However this becomes a lesser issue when we learn that immediate Just one last note, Belinda is almost there, in fact as I sign off I am off detection is a lie. It is often reliant on people sitting watching screens to the hospital with Daphne and hope to report a new arrival in our being constantly vigilant and reacting accordingly. At the time of family very soon… writing only two sections of the M25 have the Car Detection System. On average it has taken 17 minutes for a car to be spotted and a Yours In Exasperation but also Keen Anticipation, further 17 minutes to be rescued. Anyone who has broken down and sought shelter on a traditional hard shoulder will tell us how Brigadier Sir Arthur Thurlow-Lee threatening an environment that is. Imagine being stranded on a live lane. It is like playing Russian Roulette with a six barrel more loaded than empty. On one section of the M25, in the five years prior to smart motorways, there were 72 near misses. For the five year period after, when the hard shoulder was taken away, there were 1,485, about a twenty fold increase!

Another aspect of this lunacy is how unaware some members of the driving public are, regarding the creation of these new type motorways and the increased dangers they pose. About one in five drivers have never heard of Dynamic Hard Shoulders where they can be temporarily opened to traffic at busy periods (ironically also the most dangerous periods). More than one in ten have not even heard of the term smart motorway and all lanes running. Why was there not and why has there not been repeated public information broadcasts on the BBC and written warnings in public buildings and spaces warning us of the changes and dangers? As soon as the latest figures were released regarding deaths and near misses I made a beeline for the phone to warn my three daughters and my grandchildren old enough to drive, of the risks they run on today’s motorways.

What advice did I give? Well, very much the same as when breaking down on a conventional motorway but with an added urgency. Firstly make drivers around you aware of your difficulties by putting on your hazard warning lights and even sounding the horn if you feel those around you have not been alerted as you attempt to gain the inside lane. Keep the lights flashing and if you estimate you can reach the next refuge area then do so. If not then come to a gradual stop and immediately vacate the car on the passenger side and climb over the barrier and stand at least 15 metres away from the road. In the case of a minor incident with another car do not, at all costs, stop to exchange details in a live lane, make for the refuge area. Tragically I was not able to give this advice to a Mr Mercer and a Mr Murgeanu who were tragically killed in such circumstances on the M1 on June 7th last year…

Recently an all-party group of MPs reviewed the last ten years of smart motorways and accused Highways England of “a shocking degree of carelessness”…tame words indeed in light of the unnecessary carnage wrought by this flawed concept. They might have been better advised

THE NEW BRADWELL B POWER STATION

We are proposing to build Bradwell B power station on land immediately to the south and west of the existing Bradwell power station, next to the Blackwater Estuary on the . The site for Bradwell B is around 15km east of Maldon and the nearest villages are Bradwell-on-Sea and Bradwell Waterside.

Following receipt of the necessary consents, we expect construction of the power station would take approximately 9-12 years, including restoring those parts of the site required only temporarily for construction.

Components of the power station The Bradwell B power station would comprise a number of components, each contributing to its safe and secure operation (see Figure 3.1). Together, these components would form the ‘permanent development’, which would operate for 60 years and include: • two UK HPR1000 reactor units each comprising a reactor containment building with its associated buildings (the ‘nuclear island’), a turbine hall with electrical buildings (the ‘conventional island’) and associated balance of plant. These units are often referred to as the ‘main power blocks’; • additional ‘Balance of Plant’ facilities and equipment that facilitate the operation of the power station. Many of these buildings and structures are similar to those that would be found on a gas or coal fired power station; • cooling water infrastructure including forebay, pump houses, water treatment and cooling towers, plus cooling water tunnels extending out from the power station into the sea, to abstract and discharge cooling water; • Power transmission infrastructure including a connection to a new 400kV substation to be provided by National Grid; • fuel and waste storage facilities, including interim storage for nuclear waste and spent fuel; • offices, welfare facilities, security and emergency response facilities (some of the latter may also be located off-site); and • security facilities including fencing and security checkpoints to control access to different areas of the site, as well as security lighting. In addition to the permanent development works there would be associated infrastructure supporting the operation and maintenance of the power station including: • primary and secondary access roads, car parking (including contractor car parking for use during maintenance periods) and internal roads; • sea defences surrounding a raised platform to protect the power station from extreme flood events (taking into account future climate change); • a marine transport facility for occasional use (once every 5 years or less on average) to bring large components to site by sea; and • a restored landscape extending across all areas impacted by construction, incorporating elements which would contribute to environmental mitigation, compensation and enhancement. There may also be a need to locate some additional power station facilities such as emergency response units off-site. These potential requirements are in the very early stages of consideration and we will publish proposals for any such facilities in our Stage Two consultation.

Design and environment We are proposing to locate the power station on the higher ground to the south and west of Bradwell Power Station. The proposed layout (see Figure 3.1) takes account of the environmental constraints of the site and surrounds, while offering a number of benefits, including: • reducing the amount of engineering fill required to raise the platform, helping minimise HGV traffic on local roads; • retaining the existing flood embankment and borrow dyke; • concentrating permanent development on areas of lowest flood risk within the site; • reducing potential impacts on the Chapel of St Peter-on- the-Wall and Roman Shore Fort of Othona to the east of the site; • reducing potential disturbance of wintering birds using the coastal mudflats centred on Dengie Flats to the east of the site; • maximising the availability of land for potential ecological enhancement after the power station has been built; and • helping to reduce amenity impacts on the proposed England Coast Path. Locating the development away from the coast would bring the permanent development closer to Bradwell-on-Sea and Bradwell Waterside. We have considered creating a new landscape to provide an appropriate setting for the new power station. Figure 3.1 shows proposed habitat creation, which would form part of this new landscape and provide ecological mitigation, making a positive contribution to biodiversity. Feedback from consultation and further assessment will help to inform opportunities for enhancement, and development of any necessary mitigation proposals.

People and Jobs Creating new opportunities and lasting benefits Building Bradwell B would create tens of thousands of jobs and deliver millions of pounds of investment in the local and regional economies. Many of the skills required for construction would be transferable, opening up new opportunities for further employment and long-term careers once the building phase is completed. A key part of our approach is supporting collaboration within the region to create an environment where people can access these opportunities. Where possible, we will prioritise opportunities for local people, through new skills training. We will help local businesses be part of the new supply chains Bradwell B would create. We are working with Essex County Council, Council and key organisations, such as the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and Federation of Essex Colleges, to understand the current situation and identify areas for investment. Bradwell B is likely to create other new jobs in the local economy beyond those on the main site. When completed, there will be around 900 permanent jobs in operating the power station, in addition to supply chain services to the site.

AIDAN HULL RETAINS TITLE April 2020 A group of 20 Burnham Burnham Tide Table cadets enjoyed playing in this seasons Winter League.

The challenging, shortened course proved to be a fantastic introduction for the 4 new cadets who had progressed from Ken Light's Junior Academy, one of which was young Harry Shultz who finished his debut appearance in 3rd place displaying great talent. Birdies were aplenty over the 14 weekends but it was 'Eagle hunter' Louis Gold who secured 2nd place in the league. Defending his title, Aidan Hull, put up quite a challenge from the off.

Favouring to play in his shorts and Ireland bobble hat, the luck of the Irish certainly came through for Aidan as he topped the table for the 2nd year in a row!

Their strength in depth has having won every game of the season (even on the odd occasion when been amazing although they have only used 8 players all season they could only field 2 players) and were untouchable at this level. including a one-off outing for Fambridge supremo Peter Ballard. They also had the top two players in their squad – Peter Chastin (95%), Fambridge’s 4 main players all feature highly in the top players list with and the clinical but still lovable Dave Goody (93%). Stow only used 4 Liam Squirrell (95%) and Mark Stones (93%) right at the very top. Not players in total, and the only mother and son combo across the league. far behind are Keith Adams ( 86%) and the ever young John Poysden That Mother was Jean Chasmer who recorded a brilliant 81% win rate, (77%). Over the season Fambridge recorded 8 whitewashes, two and the squad was completed by the perennial high achiever Mick draws against Cold Norton A, and just one loss early on against Robinson on 87%. So a great triumph for the Stow D side which was runners-up West Maldon A. Their best performance of the season and achieved not only in great playing style but also with great a match that sealed the championship was their emphatic 10-0 sportsmanship and appreciation for their opponents. The battle for drubbing of West Maldon A, great revenge for their single defeat of the runner-up slot was a two horse race betwixt West Maldon D and the season but also it really saw off the realistic challenge of the West Woodham D. the teams were neck and neck through the winter Maldon team. West Maldon A like Fambridge used just 4 main players months and everything was building to the showdown on the 9th over the course of the season and actually won a slightly higher March. The West Maldon side were hungry for success and ravished percentage than Fambridge but were never quite as dominating as the their way through the feeble defence of the Woodham side in a season champions. They had some great results including a very respectful defining 9-1 victory. That was their final played match of the season double over Maldon A. and what a fitting way to claim the promotion they so richly deserved.

A blood test has also been carried out and has come back negative, indicating that there are no measurable amounts of antibodies in the blood at this stage. This does not rule out infection. The dog has since tested negative and been released from quarantine. The OIE states that “There is no evidence that dogs play a role in the spread of this human disease or that they become sick.”

Can you protect dogs against COVID-19 through vaccination? The canine coronavirus vaccines available in some global markets are intended to protect against intestinal coronavirus infection and are NOT licensed for protection against respiratory infections. There is absolutely no evidence that vaccinating dogs with commercially available vaccines will provide cross-protection against the infection by COVID-19, since the intestinal and respiratory viruses are distinctly different variants of coronavirus. No vaccines are currently available in any market for respiratory coronavirus infection in the dog.

Apart from maintaining good hygiene practices, pet owners need not be overly concerned and under no circumstances should they Can COVID-19 infect pets? abandon their pets.

If my pet has been in contact with someone who is sick from COVID-19, can it spread the disease to other people? While we do not yet know for sure, there is limited evidence that companion animals can be infected with or spread SARS-Cov-2. We also do not know if they could get sick from this new coronavirus. Additionally, there is currently no evidence that companion animals could be a source of infection to people.

Is it true that a dog in Hong Kong was diagnosed with COVID- 19? On 1 March it was reported that a Pomeranian dog in Hong Kong had tested positive for COVID-19 and further testing, including gene sequencing, suggests that the dog had a low-level of infection and that this is likely to be a case of human-to-animal transmission. The dog has not shown any clinical signs of disease. BROCHURES LEAFLETS STATIONERY FLYERS Important Telephone Numbers BURNHAM & DENGIE FOCUS Important Telephone Numbers 29
