(“Adult social care authorities” are local authorities which have functions under Part 1 of the Care Act 2014, namely county councils in England, district councils for an area in England for which there is no county council, London borough councils, the Common Council of the City of London and the Council of the Isles of Scilly.) The offer is the option of an adult social care authority being able to charge an additional “precept” on its council tax for financial years from the financial year beginning in 2016 without holding a referendum, to assist the authority in meeting expenditure on adult social care. Subject to the annual approval of the House of Commons, the Secretary of State intends to offer the option of charging this “precept” at an appropriate level in each financial year up to and including the financial year 2019-20.’ 6 Do it online...

This is an increase of 2.99% on the standard Council charge and a 1.5% increase on the Adult Social Care (ASC) Precept charge which is used to help fund the rising cost of social care services for older and disabled adults. How we calculate the increases The standard Council charge and the ASC Precept make up the ‘Total Council Charge.’ It is this overall charge that is used to work out both increases for 2019/20.

Please email [email protected] if you have any data/ information to add or correct. *Original primary source documents are digitized and can be viewed on the web site. Ancestors of the Immigrant Christopher Choate [b.1642] ©1 Christopher Chotte 2 is documented to have immigrated from England as an indentured servant to the Province of Maryland in 1676.*3 There is no information in the records of England or Maryland to indicate his age or where in England he was from. He has been identified by researchers as the first in the "Choates of the South” family line (Generation 1). Attempting to identify the English origins and relatives of Christopher is a challenge since primary source data is limited or yet to be discovered. Below is the beginning of an attempt to identify our English ancestors but these result involve conjecture and the further back one goes pure guess work. 4 The greatest portion of Choat/Choate families from the 1600s in England came from the parishes that make up Essex and Suffolk County today. Research in 1988 5 discovered a Christopher Chote christened on 4 September 1642 in St. Mary’s and All Saints Church, Rivenhall Parish, Essex County. 6 His father’s name was Christopher and an older brother was named Edward. Christopher [b.1642] the progenitor of the “Choates of the South” named his two sons: Christopher and Edward. The naming pattern of Christopher’s [b.1642] sons allows one to draw a plausible link between the indentured servant that arrived in the Province of Maryland in 1676 and the boy christened in Rivenhall in 1642.

  • Scrub Clearance Enhances Floristic Species Richness on a Green Lane with Restricted Motorised Vehicular Access in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England
    Conservation Evidence (2009), 6, 79-82 www.ConservationEvidence.com Scrub clearance enhances floristic species richness on a green lane with restricted motorised vehicular access in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England Tim Gardiner 1 & Andrew Vaughan 2 1 2 Beech Road, Rivenhall, Witham, Essex CM8 3PF, UK ; [email protected] 2 Epping Forest Countrycare, Epping Forest District Council, Civic Offices, High Street, Epping, Essex CM16 4BZ, UK ; [email protected] SUMMARY An experimental early-spring scrub clearance regime was introduced in 2008 to Coleman’s Lane, a ‘green lane’ site (i.e. a double hedged, unsurfaced track) in Essex, southeast England, with the aim of increasing floristic species richness. A year after scrub clearance, floristic species richness was higher on both grassy verges either side (average 5.6 species/quadrat) and central track (4.3 species) of the green lane, compared with that recorded a year prior to clearance (4.2 and 2.8 species respectively). Plant species that especially benefited from scrub clearance included cow parsley Anthriscus sylvestris and red dead nettle Lamium purpureum . New species recorded in 2009 included bush vetch Vicia sepium , sweet violet Viola odorata and wood anemone Anemone nemorosa . There were substantial reductions in bramble Rubus fruticosus and cleavers Galium aparine achieved. Further clearance is planned for winter 2009-10, and subsequently on a 2-3 year rotation. BACKGROUND includes the conservation of flora, fauna and physical features of the landscape. Motorised The byways (public rights of way open to all access can lead to low floristic species traffic; walkers, horse riders, cyclists, richness where vehicular usage is high, often motorised vehicles and carriage drivers) of eradicating plant cover on the central track Essex were surveyed in 2002 and 2003 in an due to excessive wear and tear by vehicle effort to describe their value for conservation, wheels (Gardiner 2008).

This new document sets out our thinking on how to meet future waste management requirements in the area over the plan period from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2031(inclusive) and to continue to move waste management up the waste hierarchy and away from landfill. In arriving at these stated preferences, the Waste Planning Authorities have drawn upon a substantial body of factual evidence, considerable professional expertise, and the consultation responses and workshop feedback received since preparation of the document began in 2010.

    RIVENHALL PARISH COUNCIL. Superfast Essex Broadband Project – Delivering Next Generation Access Broadband to Greater Essex. Update July 2012. Background. Government’s ambition is for the UK to have the best broadband connectivity in Europe by 2015 with 90% of the population being able to access Superfast Broadband and the remainder having access to substantially improved broadband at speeds of no less than 2Megabits per second. In order to achieve this, Government are making £530 million of public money available to invest in telecoms infrastructure and county councils are expected to take the lead in procuring a telecoms sector delivery partner to provide the necessary upgrades. Essex has been allocated £6.46 million by Government, which Essex County Council has agreed to match. The yet to be selected delivery partner will be expected to match this public sector subsidy with £13 million of their money so totalling £26 million of investment in telecoms infrastructure. Significant developments. Since March 2012 there have been a number of significant developments for the Project. On 26th June, the Secretary of State approved Superfast Essex, the Local Broadband Plan for Essex, Southend and Thurrock. The document will be available on-line and a county-wide survey will be carried out to assess where demand for Superfast broadband is. The Superfast Essex Broadband Board took the view that the procurement of the delivery partner would be done via the National Procurement Framework. This Framework has been set up in line with European Commission and World Trade Organisation competition and state aid rules. The suppliers on the framework have been selected subject to rigorous capacity and resource criteria and have had to satisfy Government that they have the ability to deliver the necessary u7pgrades on a national scale.
