Natural England has recently started to look at how access to the Essex coast can be improved as part of the England Coast Path Project. This project will create a new long-distance trail that, once completed, will allow people to walk around the whole of the English coast. Once complete, the England Coast Path will bring significant benefits to the coastal economy, providing a vital lifeline for local businesses such as shops, hotels and pubs.
Work has recently started to extend the path along the Essex coast from Burnham-on-Crouch to Manningtree and the project team are now in the process of talking to those who may be affected by the stretch between Salcott and Jaywick which, it is hoped, could be open by the summer of 2018. There will be opportunities to attend a number of drop-in sessions and anybody interested in the project is invited to attend any of these events:

Minutes of the last meeting were agreed by all and signed by the chairman
Zone Wardens Report: None received
Borough Councillor: Both pot holes and the dipped road either side of the bridge in Mill Lane will be looked into. All missing road signs will be followed up yet again.
Public-Have Your Say: None
Declarations of Interest: None
Items for Discussion
1. Neighbourhood Watch: Having received a small interest the people concerned will be given the information from the representative who attended our meeting to follow up further if they so wish.
2. Playgrounds and Playing Fields: The Community Group has carried out some really excellent clearance work on Moss Hay and will be coming again to finish. Peldon Village Hall is needed for these workers and a charge at normal rate will follow. The footpath is looking much better as a result and refurbishment is thought not be necessary for the time being. Costing for the renewal of Salcott playground fencing is still being investigated.
3. Salcott Flooding: Following much correspondence and a meeting with the Environment Agency they have effectively said there is no problem. Clearing the creek is the responsibility of neighbouring landowners who must inform the Environment Agency before carrying out any such works. The Parish Council has written to Colchester Borough Council requesting that they take into account our thoughts and concerns on this matter when constructing the new Local Plan. Having brought this to the attention of all appropriate bodies the Parish Council has explored all avenues on this matter and feels that it is unable to do any more at this time.
4. Total Transport Project/FutureGov: The Parish Council had previously organized a shopping bus for residents who do not have their own means of transport but this was not sufficiently used. Fortunately some people are frequently helped out by kind hearted neighbours. A scheme providing tokens for taxis for people unable to get to doctors’ appointments etc. used to be available and will be looked into to see if it or something similar is still on-going.
5. Bus Timetable Changes/Transportation Meeting Representative: Although the bus timetable alterations and lack of reasonable notification were considered extremely inconvenient for some people the bus companies can and do change them periodically as they feel fit in order to make connections with other routes. Transportation Meetings will continue to be attended by our representative where concerns can be aired.
6. Transparency Code for Smaller Authorities: Requirements for the Transparency Code were discussed and some aspects of this are already in place and others will be addressed shortly including that any correspondence, planning notifications or invoices that arrive after the agenda has been published and displayed will not be included until the following month. Also we are waiting for Essex Association of Local Councils to produce their model template for Data Protection.
7. Actions and Reminders List – updated and including that the website has suffered problems that are currently being addressed.
