City Councillor Reports: We were encouraged to reply to Karen Syrett, CC Head of Planning, to give our suggestions and requirements for future infrastructure, if building takes place in our areas, what would we need such as more doctors, schools etc.

CCC budget meeting is to take place next week and we must expect a rise in all elements of council tax to cover rising costs of all services particularly social care.

We will talk to the Rural Community Council of Essex to request that they carry out a survey to find out the needs for local housing for local people.
