It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 4.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • Artist Commission, Rochford Town 2019-20
    Artist Commission, Rochford Town 2019-20 Budget: £10,000 Deadline: Monday 27 May 2019 (1pm) Interviews: Friday 7 June 2019 Introduction For eleven years Essex Cultural Diversity Project (ECDP) has been working closely with many different organisations, bringing together artists, museums, libraries, performers and writers with local authorities and commissioners to significantly improve and enhance the artistic and cultural diversity of the area, ensure that excellence is thriving, and that cultural integration and understanding is supported and enhanced through arts and cultural activity. This is more important today than it has ever been since ECDP was established. ECDP is now an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) with a key role to play across Essex and the East of England in continuing to support diversity in arts and cultural practice. Our strategy to achieve this is through a programme of exciting but challenging place-based commissions for artists to work in areas of Essex where there are opportunities to explore diversity through their practice. For 2019- 20 we are focusing on rural or smaller areas/towns that do not tend to see a lot of artists commissioning or activity, particularly focusing on more diverse arts/cultural practice. This commission is to be focused on the historic town of Rochford in what is a largely rural District to the south east of Essex bordering the urban area of Southend-on-Sea. Rochford Town Introduction Rochford is the main town and administrative centre of the District of Rochford a largely rural area to the south east of Essex, bordering the urban Borough of Southend-on-Sea.
