To the Rt Hon Roy Jenkins HP Secretary of State for the Home Department PROPOSALS FOR FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CASTLE POINT DISTRICT IN THE COUNTY OF ESSEX . - 1. We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, having carried out I our initial review of the electoral arrangements for the Castle Point District, in accordance with the requirements of section 63 of and Schedule 9 to the Local Government Act 1972, present our proposals for the future electoral arrangements for that District. 2. In accordance with the procedure laid down, in section 60(1) and (2) of the 1972 Act, notice was given on J> June 197^ that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to the Castle Point District Council, copies of which were circulated to the Essex County Council, the Member of Parliament for the constituency concerned and the headquarters of the main political parties. Copies were also sent to the editors of the local newspapers circulating in the area and of the local government press. Notices inserted in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies. 3. Castle Point District Council were invited to prepare a draft scheme of representation for our consideration. When doing so, they were asked to observe the rules laid down in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972, and the guide- lines which we set out in our Report No 6 about the proposed size of the council and the proposed number of councillors for each ward. They were also asked to take into account any views expressed to them following their consultation with local * interests. We therefore asked that they should publish details of their provisional proposals about a month before they submitted their draft scheme to us, thus allowing an opportunity for local comment. *t. The Council had passed a resolution under section *f(a) of the Local Government Act 1972 requesting the Secretary of State to provide for a system of whole council elections. 5- On 51 October 197** Castle Point District Councii presented their draft scheme of representation. They proposed to divide the area of the district into 13 wards each returning 3 members to form a council of 39« * 6. We considered the draft scheme submitted by the Council, together with comments which had been made upon it, some of which proposed an alternative scheme. We noted that the draft scheme complied with the rules in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972 and our own guidelines, and v/e considered that it provided a satisfactory basis of representation for the district. V/e carefully considered all the comments and the alternative scheme but we concluded that the council's draft scheme provided the best overall standard of representation for the district. V/e then formulated our draft proposals accordingly. 7. On 11 December we issued our draft proposals and these were sent to all who had received our consultation letter or had commented on the Council's draft scheme. The Council were asked to make these draft proposals, and the accompanying map which defined the proposed ward boundaries, available for inspection at their main offices. Representations on our draft proposals were invited from those to whom they were circulated and, by public notices, from members of the public. and interested bodies. We asked that any comments should reach us by 6 February 8. The District Council and the County Council raised no objection to our draft proposals. 9. Other comments were received supporting, with or without modification, the alternative scheme which wo had not adopted for our draft oronosals. 10. In view of these comments we considered that we needod further information to enable us to reach a conclusion. Therefore, in accordance with section 65(2) of the 1972 Act, and at our request, you appointed Mr B H Edwards as an Assistant Commissioner to hold a local meeting and report to us. 11. Notice of the local meeting was sent to all who had received our draft proposals or had commented on them, and was published locally. 12. The Assistant Commissioner held the meeting at the Council's offices in Benfleet on 3 October 1975 and visited the areas which were the subject of comment. A copy of his report is attached at Schedule 1. 13- •'•n the light of the discussion at that meeting and of his inspection of the area, the AssistantCon^ssicner recommended confirmation of the draft proposals insofar as they related to the Benfleet area of the district. With regard to the Canvey Island area of the district, the Assistant Commissioner recommended the adoption of the alternative scheme which provided for the existing arrangements in Canvey Island to be retained with only slight modification. These arrangements provide for the division of Canvey Island into six wards, each returning 2 or 3 members, to give a total of 15 councillors representing the Island - the same number as in our' draft proposals. 1't. We reviewed our draft proposals in the light of the comments which we had received and of the Assistant Commissioner's Deport. We noted that the alternative scheme 'for the Canvey Island area provided a satisfactory standard of representation -and that it had a large measure of local support. V.'e therefore decided to modify our draft proposals to give effect to the alternative scheme for Canvey Island, as recommended by the Assistant Commissioner. We then formulated our final proposals accordingly. 15- Details of these final proposals are set out in Schedule 2 to this report and on the attached nap. Schedule 2 gives the names of the wards and the number of councillors to be returned by each. The boundaries of the new wards are defined on the attached map. PUBLICATION 16. In accordance with Section 60(5)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972 a copy of this report and a copy of the map are being sent to Castle Point District Council and will be available'for public inspection at the Council Offices at Benfleet, Essex. Copies of this report are also being sent to those who received the consultation letter and to those who made comments. A detailed description of the boundaries of the proposed wards as defined on the map is set out in Schedule 3 to this report, L.S.

  • Benfleet in the Early Twentieth Century
    BENFLEET IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY Chapter 1: Early Days Before the first world war, a company known as the Land Company, manager Frederick Rarnuz, bought up a considerable amount of grazing land in Benfleet and New Thundersley and divided it up into building plots marking it out with wooden pegs defining roads etc .. Prospective buyers were given a free first class rail ticket to Westcliff a champagne lunch and a ride in a Daimler to view the new estate and many plots were sold. War broke out and unoccupied land was commandeered for agricultural purposes and many of the marking pegs ploughed under with the result that when then new owners returned from the war they had to try and remake their survey before building. This coupled with the fact that some had been killed in combat and therefore could not claim their plots led to much confusion which has lasted up to the present day and has shown up when road charges were attempted to be levied. All sorts of wooden and asbestos huts and houses were put up, especially between Cemetery corner and Tarpots Farm. This caused a transport problem for people wishing to go to work by train hence the need for public transport (see my next chapter i. e. the buses.). Some Notes About Old Benfleet When I first remember it, in 1915 the only way to reach either Cemetery corner or Tarpots was either on foot or by hiring a horse cab. In 1921 a blue charabanc ran from the "Anchor" to Southend via Vicarage Hill described as a tour through Little Switzerland.

Mr John Canvey Yes Spears Mrs Karen Yes with Canvey Sadler caveats Proposal - Completely bulldoze the existing town centre , approach a leading supermarket chain ( Asda , Tesco , Sainsbury , Morrisons ) to build one purpose built complex - Everything housed under one roof , with suitable access roads. That could house all their requirements plus have ample provisions to house local shops , banks , restaurants Mr Eddie and local amenities. Current examples - Asda at Canvey Yes Crace Shoeburyness and South Woodham Ferris , Tesco at Pitsea. However there would be no accommodation for charity shops or takeaways that currently makes our town centre look like a shanty town. No one from surrounding areas currently comes onto the island except to shop at Morrisons , where they can easily drive to , park , shop and then leave with very little trouble at all. The town centre lacks appeal. Unattractive, does not inspire C Pager Canvey Yes people to come to the island to visit/shop.

  • HRPP367-Hydrodynamic and Loss... the 1953 Canvey Island Flood
    Hydrodynamic and loss of life modelling for the 1953 Canvey Island fl ood HRPP 368 Manuela Di Mauro & Darren Lumbroso Reproduced from: Flood Risk Management - Research and Practice Proceedings of FLOODrisk 2008 Keble College, Oxford, UK 30 September to 2 October 2008 Flood Risk Management: Research and Practice – Samuels et al. (eds) © 2009 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-48507-4 Hydrodynamic and loss of life modelling for the 1953 Canvey Island flood Manuela Di Mauro & Darren Lumbroso HR Wallingford Ltd, Wallingford, Oxfordshire, UK ABSTRACT: Canvey Island is located in the Thames Estuary. The island is a low-lying alluvial fan covering an area of 18.5 km2, with an average height of approximately 1 m below the mean high water level. Canvey Island is protected against inundation by a network of flood defences. In 1953, the island was inundated by the “Great North Sea Flood” that breached the island’s flood defences and resulted in the deaths of 58 people and the destruction of several hundred houses. As part of the EC funded research project FLOODsite, work was undertaken to set up both a hydrodynamic and an agent-based loss-of-life model of Canvey Island for the 1953 flood. The objective of the work was to obtain a better understanding of the 1953 flood event and to analyse the consequences of breaches in the island’s flood defences in terms of loss of life and injuries. The work under- taken indicates that the agent-based life safety model can provide a scientifically robust method to assess loss of life, injuries and evacuation times for areas that are at risk from flooding in the UK.
