  • Minutes from the PFCC Thurrock Online Public Meeting
    Minutes of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex Thurrock Online Public Meeting 12th May 2020 Panel Members PFCC Roger Hirst, Dep PFCC Jane Gardner, Ch/Insp Richard Melton, Essex Police, Mark Diggory, ECFRS Station Manager Questions Answers A member of the public has consistently reported drug dealing taking place Ch/Insp Melton – drug dealing does not have a place in the district. It brings next door to them and nothing seems to be done. What was the point in all kinds of other crime with it including turf wars and knife crime. reporting? Fortunately, there are not too many rival gangs in Thurrock. The C17 who were operating out of London via county lines in Thurrock has had significant disruption through great activity thanks to the efforts of the Essex Police Op Raptor teams. It is vital people keep reporting in crime as the information is gathered as intelligence and is shared with partners where applicable, to help build a case and achieve a significant prosecution rather than a quick win. He requested for the public to keep the information coming through. How many arrests have been made in Thurrock for public not achieving PFCC – Thurrock FPNs are slightly lower than other areas. Police will only social distancing compared to reports made by the public? respond to gatherings etc in public areas as they cannot enter homes and gardens without a significant reason. To date there has been around 150 fixed penalty notices and only 18 people arrested county wide. Ch/Insp Melton advised the interaction they have had with the public has been largely positive and often just a case of educating around the lockdown measures.

  • Ancestors of Phillip Pasfield of Wethersfield, Essex, England
    Ancestors of Phillip Pasfield of Wethersfield, Essex, England Phillip Pasfield was born in Wethersfield about 1615 and died in early 1685 in Wethersfield. He lived there his entire life, as did his ancestors going back at least 250 years. This paper will identify and document his known ancestors. Community of Wethersfield Wethersfield is now and always has been a very small community in northwest Essex County. Its history dates back to at least 1190.[1] The earliest known map dated in 1741 shows the roads that connect Wethersfield to other nearby towns and a number of small properties on either side of those roads.[2] Although there are very few Essex County records prior to 1600, Phillip’s ancestors can be traced through them back to the early 1400s in Wethersfield. The surviving parish records in Wethersfield begin about 1650. Fortunately there are wills from 1500 and some land and court records available from the 1300s in the Essex County archives. There are also lawsuits in London Chancery courts that help the genealogical researcher trace Phillip Pasfield and his ancestors. Wethersfield Land Records Land records in early Essex County typically assign names to the various properties rather than use metes and bounds or acres. The assigned property names come from various sources, including names of previous owners of the property. Land transactions typically list the sellers and the buyers, property name, and the neighboring land owners. Many of these properties are bought and sold by groups of individuals who may or may not all be relatives. Because of the lack of wills and available vital records, property ownership plays a critical role in tracing Phillip’s ancestors.

This is my last report as Chief Constable of the Joint Authority as the Force after an existence of only five years will assume a new identity as the Essex Police on 1 April 1974. I would like to thank all members and officers of the Authority who have taken such an interest in its work and con!ributed to its undoubted success. The new Force will be able to bU.ild on a sure foundation. / I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, J. C. NIGHTINGALE Chief Constable 3 INTRODUCTION The Force continued to prosper in 1973. The strength of police officers increased by 72 - a smallcr figure than in 1972 but the growth over the past two years enabled the length of the notional working week to be reduced from 44 hours to 42. This change, together with an increase in pension contributions during the year to pay for improvements in benefits, resulted in a reduction in net take home pay for most members of the Force in a period of rising prices. Nevertheless morale remains high and wastage has been reduced. The workload, as will be seen from the report, increases constantly and a steady growth of manpower at rather more than the present rate is needed to cope with it.

  • Canvey Island Town Council (Castle Point, Essex)
    Case study on the experience of newly established local (parish and town) councils CANVEY ISLAND TOWN COUNCIL (CASTLE POINT, ESSEX) Background Canvey Island Town Council was created in 2007, after a public petition which precipitated a decision by the Government to agree the designation of this new parish within the borough of Castle Point. The campaign for a new town council for Canvey Island had been running for many years. Local campaigners saw the area as a distinct geographic entity, because the island is physically divided from mainland Essex by a channel of the Thames Estuary. Many people remembered when Canvey Island Urban District Council had been the local government body, before the major re-organisation of local government in 1974, and the campaign drew on the feeling that Castle Point Borough Council did not represent well the concerns of local residents. Castle Point was opposed to its creation, partly because it would move forty per cent of the orough’s eletors ito a single local council. This was unprecedented at the time and Essex Association of Local Councils had to establish with the relevant Whitehall department (then the Office of the Deputy-Prime Minister) that such a move would be constitutionally lawful. The order was made to create Canvey Island Town Council in 2006 and the first elections were contested on 3rd May 2007 for its eleven seats. Canvey Island Town Council represents a population of over 40,000. The area has been extensively developed since the early part of the 20th Century and the majority of the island is urbanised.

  • Annual Report 2019/2020
    Canvey Island Town Council ANNUAL REPORT 2019/2020 1 History Canvey Island lies off the South East coast of Essex in the Thames estuary. It is a unique place with an interesting and diverse history much of which can be attributed to its relationship with the changing water levels of the River Thames and the fact that the whole of the Island is below sea level. The Island is commonly known for its Dutch influence and became home to around 200 Dutch immigrants in the early 17th century, who it is reported ‘sought refuge from the Duke of Alba, the butcher of Flanders’. Two tiny Dutch cottages are preserved on the Island from this period of the Island’s history one is still inhabited at ‘Canvey Village’ the other is preserved as a museum. At the start of the 20th century, the population of Canvey numbered about 300 people. At about that time, Canvey was heavily promoted as a holiday destination, primarily for Londoner’s, to escape the smog of the big city. By the end of the First World War the population had reached 1,795 and the people still kept coming. Since the 1930’s, the west side of the Island at Hole Haven has been developed for use as oil refineries, and oil and gas storage which has met with a great deal of public opposition. In more recent times, some of the land previously used for this purpose has been ‘reclaimed’ and is currently being developed as a nature reserve. The population of the Island has grown significantly since the turn of the Century to a little under 40,000 (almost 16,000 homes).
