Poppies at Barge Pier NEWS FROM CHALKWELL WARD Spring 2017 intouch Editor: Nigel Folkard CONSERVATIVES Southend West Conservative Association, Iveagh Hall, 67 Leigh Road, Leigh on Sea, Essex SS9 1JW POPPIES AT BARGE PIER Chalkwell Councillors are pleased that Southend has been selected to host the Poppies ‘Wave’ sculpture at Barge Pier, against the picturesque back drop of coastal views, as a poignant reminder to those who fought valiantly in WW1. South- end remains one of only two areas select- ed across the UK in hosting the poppies, and we consider it a privilege in having contributed to the support for the iconic display from its proposal at Council through to completion. The public response has also been wonderful, with Cllr Nigel Folkard over two hundred volunteers gained and many thousands of visits made. FORMER CHALKWELL COUNCILLOR RICHARD BROWN IS AWARDED HONORARY ALDERMAN The Certificate of Honorary Alderman was presented to four former councillors, as a special recognition by Southend Council as a thank you for their years of service The title of Honorary Alderman is given to those who have served the Council for at least 15 years, and have rendered eminent service to the Council. We offer our congratulations to Richard on receiving this prestigious award. Richard & Marjorie Brown & daughter Suzane NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE & TOWN CLERK The Council’s Appointments and Disciplinary Committee have recom- mended to Full Council that Alison Griffin is appointed as the Council’s new Chief Executive and Town Clerk. The recommendation follows a national recruitment and selection process. Alison Griffin is currently Director of Finance and Corporate Services at the London Borough of Bexley, having previously been Assistant Director for Communities at the London Borough of Camden from May 2010 to August 2013 and then Deputy Director of Finance at the same authority until September 2014. Cllr John Lamb, Leader of the Council, says: “The Appointments and Disci- plinary Committee were delighted to recommend to Full Council that Alison Griffin is appointed as the new Chief Executive and Town Clerk. The recruitment and selection process was rigorous and proper, and all candidates should be congratulated for the professionalism and integrity in which it was carried out.” We look forward to welcoming Alison Griffin to her new post in July 2017. LANSDOWNE AVENUE GOES ONE-WAY Lansdowne Avenue has now been altered to one-way to help traffic flow; this follows a lengthy consultation in which a majority of residents in the road com- plained about the chaos caused when motorists were unable to pass each other when travelling in opposite directions. Cllr Habermel who campaigned for the changes commented that he hoped the new system would make the lives of residents and motorists easier, and added that he would like to thank all residents of Lansdowne Avenue for their patience in bringing about the changes. Cllr Stephen Habermel AGAINST OVERBEARING DEVELOPMENT Southend Borough Council’s Development Control Committee have rejected plans for additional car parking spaces to be implemented at the back of The Shore Development, with access down Grosvenor Mews. Cllr Burzotta has campaigned against these plans, having publicly spoken at the committee of the distress this would cause residents if granted, stating “there is already secure underground parking available at the site for each flat occupied, for what was initially projected to be a landscaped area, safety issues are a concern, the loss of amenity space is unwelcome, including the undue stress such a volume of vehicles will cause resident’s in close proximity to the site.” David was elected on a mandate to oppose areas at risk of overbearing development. An appeal has now been made to the Secretary Of State against this decision, with the outcome yet Cllr David Burzotta to be decided upon, nonetheless David believes resident’s views must and indeed should take priority. HELP SOUTHEND-ON-SEA BOROUGH MARK 125 YEARS Plans for a series of special events to mark 125 years since the incorporation of the Borough of Southend-on -Sea are gathering pace. The 125th anniversary begins with the iconic Poppies sculpture, Wave at Barge Pier in Shoeburyness from 12 April until 25 June.

It has been a long year and we are still not yet out of lockdown. Our Prime Minister has given us the pathway out and let’s hope there are no setbacks and by the summer we are heading back to a more normal life.

The focus is now firmly on the forthcoming May elections and our need to get control of Southend Council back in the hands of the Con- servatives. The Conservative Group has achieved so much in opposition and has so many great plans for the future – let’s all get behind our prospective candidates and support them however we can! This is my last Newsletter as your Chairman. I have set out what I aimed to do. I have brought renewed structure to SWCA and the way our Officers work. As a team we have worked on a selection of matters relating to membership, campaigning, finance and admin- istration, putting the Association on a great footing to move forward.
