    Billericay Town Crier YOUR QUALITY COUNCIL www.billericaytowncouncil.gov.uk THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE BILLERICAY TOWN COUNCIL June 2012 great big thank you to all of you who turned out to vote on 3rd A May in the Town Council elections. You have re-elected 14 of the councillors who served you during the last few years and 6 people who came forward and said they wanted to help make Billericay a better place to live. If you didn’t vote, please don’t complain about what we do for you over the next four years. Two members of the previous council decided not to seek re-election, and, as is the way with democracy, four who sought re-election didn’t get back in. I am grateful to them for all the efforts they put into helping achieve great things. My colleagues have given me a second chance to be chairman, and I hope that together we will make a difference. Cllr Peter Bowditch, who was chairman for 3 years before me, has been appointed as the vice-chairman. I am pleased to let the new councillors introduce themselves to you in their own words. Cllr. John Buchanan, Chairman JOHN BELLRINGER to preserve and enhance have also been involved with fund raising for the I have lived in Great Burstead, through working on the Mayor of Chelmsford’s Charities.

    SLEEPY WILLOWS Laindon Common Road | Little Burstead | Billericay |CM12 9TL SLEEPY WILLOWS Laindon Common Road | Little Burstead | Billericay | CM12 9TL SLEEPY WILLOWS | Laindon Common Road • Refurbished detached 4 bedroom character home originally built circa 1800 • En-suites to 2 bedrooms • Secluded position in a charming village • Large plot to both the front and rear offering exceptional privacy When the current owners bought this exceptional property some 13 years ago they had a vision and a dream to transform it into the fabulous home that it is today. Although the property is over 200 years old they have managed to strike the perfect balance between old and new by adding such features as en-suites, vaulted ceilings and skylight windows, whilst still retaining the properties exceptional character. Family time can be spent in the kitchen/diner and conservatory while more formal dining and relaxing with guests can be enjoyed in the semi-open plan lounge and dining area. The feature chimney breast fireplace neatly zones the lounge and dining area making this a wonderfully social space perfect for hosting dinner parties. The ground floor bedroom with en-suite ensures that guests feel welcome to stay over on a Saturday evening, but be warned the moment they step into your garden on Sunday morning to enjoy breakfast, they won’t want to leave. It is such a private and secluded position that you really do feel like you are in the middle of the countryside and it’s the perfect place to relax the day away. Although in a semi-rural position the property is within a few minutes of bustling historic Billericay that also has a mainline railway station offering fast and frequent services into London Liverpool Street station.
