Previously an industrial town it now mainly comprises retail and service industries. There have been several private housing developments in the town and further residential development continues. The Braintree District is the fourth largest in Essex by population (151,910) and is expected to grow by 8% in the period 2015 to 2025. It is anticipated that the number of over 65s in the District will increase by over 30% over the same period (Source: Local Authority Portrait of Braintree 2016). Braintree is a commuter town, many residents travelling to London, Chelmsford and Colchester for work. There is a good rail link to London Liverpool Street (journey time 1 hour 3 minutes). The town has good access to Stansted Airport (approximately 20 minutes) and good road links via the M11 (approximately 20 minutes). In December 2020, Braintree became home to the 1st electric car charging forecourt, offering super-fast reliable charging for up to 36 cars at the same time. It also provides basic services whilst your vehicle is charging. 4 Transport links • Stansted - 16 miles • Chelmsford - 12.5 miles • Colchester - 17 miles • Norwich - 76 miles • London by direct train from Braintree - 1 hr 5 mins Local Schools Braintree has Notley High School & Braintree Sixth Form college which is a very successful although heavily over-subscribed comprehensive school. The Sixth form opened in September 2009. Both gained Academy status in August 2011. There is also Alec Hunter Academy, which is in partnership with Saffron Walden County High School and Tabor Academy, which is part of the Loxford School Trust. There is St Michaels Church of England Primary School in Braintree, which recognises the vital role that they have to help shape the lives of the children by following Jesus' example they put the children at the heart of all they do. Great Notley has two large primary schools, Notley Green and White Court, both of which have good Ofsted reports, they provide a good level of education. Rayne has a primary and nursery school which accommodates approximately 300 children. The school strongly believes that Primary education is significant and provides a foundation for children. It works closely with the families and community to shape the young people for the future. The Village of Black Notley. Black Notley is situated south of the town of Braintree in Essex. For many years a small country village, Black Notley’s population has grown in the last twenty years. The early 2000s saw the building of 350 houses on the site of the large hospital which had been part of the village for a century before closing in 1998. This development, still known to locals as ‘the hospital site’, added to the population which was 2,478 in the 2011 census. Many of the new residents commute to work from the nearby Cressing station. In 2016 another development of 100 houses on the edge of the village alongside Bakers Lane and London Road was started also adding to the population. Black Notley has one shop which is a general store and a post office. It also has one pub and a hairdresser. There is a village hall and a community hall, both of which are well supported. St Peter and St Paul is the parish church, part of the diocese of Chelmsford. The church on the edge of the village is built of flint and pebble rubble and has stood on this site since the first half of the twelfth century. It is surrounded by quiet and peaceful farmland and is the starting point for many walkers following the extensive public footpaths. The distinguished naturalist John Ray was born in Black Notley in 1628 and is buried in the churchyard. Great Notley Village There are several small businesses including 2 hairdressers, dry cleaners, a dentist, doctors, vets practice, licensed café, Co-Op shop and a 24hr Tesco superstore. There are three nurseries located in the village, a community centre and of course the church. Numerous activities take place within the village at both the Community Centre 5 and the Church in Great Notley. There are plenty of running groups and a children’s football lteam. The village pub/restaurant “The Prince Louis” has invited us to sing carols to their customers for the past 3 years helping to building a bond with other members of the village. The village is a 10-minute walk from the Discovery Centre which is a large country park that provides plenty of open space and activities for families. Braintree Village Outlet is a 10-minute drive from Great Notley. The average age of the village is 40 and a large percentage of the population is made up of families. There is also an ageing population scattered throughout the village. Rayne Village Rayne village is situated to the west of Braintree and sits just north of the main A120. Whilst on the outskirts of the urban conurbation of Braintree town, the village enjoys its own identity and is separated by open countryside. The population is around 3,000. Rayne is an attractive lively village, with many local clubs and societies, including Scouting and Guiding groups, football, cricket, table tennis, petanque, WI, allotments and Twinning association, to name a few. There is a large village hall set within playing fields with both football and cricket pitches, a very comprehensive children’s play area and BMX track. Adjacent to the playing fields there is a nature reserve with wildlife ponds. The disused Braintree to Bishop Stortford railway line is now a linear park known as the Flitch Way and is extremely popular with walkers and cyclists. There is a railway carriage museum based at the old railway station. There are several businesses based in Rayne: A post office and general store, a beauty salon and dog grooming parlour, two public houses, a bistro restaurant, an Indian restaurant and a café situated on the platform of the old railway station. 6 The Rectory Set centrally in the benefice, the Rectory is in a very desirable position on London Road with easy access to the A131 and A120. It was built to a high standard in 2010 and local amenities are reasonably close. Being on the main bus route to Braintree, Chelmsford and Colchester widens the choice of secondary schools. Braintree has three comprehensive schools: Alec Hunter, The Tabor and Notley High. The latter is within walking distance and offers sixth form education. St John Payne RC and Chelmer Valley, both situated in north Chelmsford, also offer sixth forms. Grammar school education is available in Chelmsford and Colchester. The University of East Anglia is on the Braintree side of Chelmsford and Essex University is in Colchester. The Rectory was purpose-built with a working study where meetings can be held. The attractive entrance hall has a cloakroom and a connecting door to the rest of the house. The ground floor comprises a dual aspect lounge, dining room, modern kitchen and utility room. There is access to the garden from the kitchen and the french windows in the lounge. The first floor has the master bedroom with its own private shower room, with another three bedrooms served by the family bathroom. The property is heated by gas central heating with radiators throughout. To the front is a good sized block-paved area offering ample parking and access to the front door. To one side of the property a gated driveway leads to a double garage. At the back there is a patio, a pleasing garden with lawn, fruit trees and shrubs. Neither front nor rear is overlooked. 7 St Peter and St Paul, Black Notley The Mission Statement of St Peter and St Paul’s from our Mission Action Plan: We exist: • for the glory and worship of God • to encourage Christian disciples in their journey • to bring the love of Jesus Christ to the people of our parish ❖ We exist for the glory and worship of God We desire to give glory to God not only in our worship but also in our words and actions, in the way in which we conduct the business of the church and in good stewardship of our fabric and financial resources.

  • Braintree District Questionnaire for Essex County Council Local Bus Service Network Review Consultation September 2015
    Braintree District Questionnaire for Essex County Council Local Bus Service Network Review Consultation September 2015 Background Essex County Council (ECC) is carrying out a thorough review of its financial support for local bus services across the County. The role of the County Council under the Transport Acts is to look at where market failure occurs in the local road passenger transport network, decide whether a service is needed, and if in the council’s opinion, it is, then to provide one. Given increased pressure on Local Government grant funding from Central Government and increased calls on statutory services such as education and adult social care, the County Council needs a way to balance the differing potential transport needs of residents when allocating funding. It also needs to manage the network in the light of changes to the commercial bus network, travel demand and changing corporate priorities over time. This consultation sets out a proposed revised policy for doing this and the proposed revisions to the existing network that will result. The policy is based on responses to previous consultations which asked about people’s priorities. We will collate all the responses from the survey and summarise them as part of our report. We will not identify individual people, and your name will not be mentioned in any reports that we write for this purpose. You do not have to take part if you do not want to - this is a voluntary activity. A supporting document explains in more detail the contract changes, how they will affect our customers and how demand responsive transport works.
