Although you pay it all to Braintree District Council, most of it goes to fund other services – emergency services like police and fire, Essex County Council and even your local Town or Parish Council. So what does that 10p in every pound pay for? It pays for things such as waste collection and recycling, street cleaning, planning, leisure centres, economic development, running elections,housing, environmental health, emergency planning, parks and open spaces, cemeteries, car parking, markets and more. 8 9 Braintree District Council spending plan What is Council Tax?

Introduction 1.1 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires the Council to prepare a Local Development Scheme (LDS). This sets out the rolling programme for preparation of planning documents that together will form Braintree District’s Development Plan. It identifies the key stages in the preparation of the Council’s Local Development Plan Documents. 1.2 It also sets out what resources will be required in order to ensure that the work will be completed in accordance with the timetable and identifies the risks that could result in delay. 1.3 The first LDS was published in September 2005 and the last review was published in May 2018. Progress on the Local Development Scheme has been monitored and the extent to which the milestones identified have been achieved is set out in the Council’s Annual Monitoring Reports. 1.4 The Braintree Local Development Scheme is therefore a project management document, which informs the public and stakeholders of the planning documents that the Council will produce and the timescale for their production. It includes; • A timetable for the production and adoption for all Development Plan Documents within the Local Development Scheme time period (3 years).

  • Media Release
    Media Release 17 March 2020 Discussion events about mid and south Essex CCGs’ future cancelled Following the Government’s latest guidance, the five NHS clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in mid and south Essex have taken the decision to cancel public events where they had hoped to discuss the future of local NHS planning with residents. A spokesperson for the five CCGs said: “Our overriding priority is, as it has always been, the safety of people living in our area. We are very sorry that we cannot offer people in Braintree and Maldon a chance to share their views and ask questions face-to-face as we had hoped. We really would still like local people’s input on the plans, and there are ways you can do this online.” The NHS Long Term Plan sets out a timeline for a single organisation to be planning and buying NHS care across larger areas. The CCG had arranged three events in the south of the county and three more in the local authority areas of mid Essex where residents could have their say about proposals for a possible merger between the five organisations. Two of the events, for south east Essex and Chelmsford residents, have already been held, but all those yet to happen have been cancelled to support residents’ “social distancing”. Events now cancelled were due to be held in: • Grays and Thurrock this evening • Braintree District this Thursday (17 March) • Pitsea, Basildon and Brentwood next Monday (23 March) • Maldon District next Wednesday (25 March). In light of the current situation surrounding Covid-19 (novel coronavirus), the two drop-in events will not now go ahead.
