Local Issues

oing nothing is not an option - iswhat the Conservative Councillors

say to confuse you into thinking that this is theonly option, then tell you this is what you willhave, whether you like it or not. With over 2200planning objections & only 4 in favour, provides evidence to support you do not wantthis sea wall. We believe if we provide the facts,you are more than capable of making yourown informed choices, but the Council just inflates the cost of other alternatives, so theyare rejected. Did you know, once they spendthe £5.2m on the new sea wall, they still haveto repair the existing and maintain the newwall over its 30 / 50 year life span. Why notspend this money on the existing sea wall? TheCouncils produced life costs, which proved theCouncils alternative option two was £2.2mcheaper, but this information was never givento the Place Scrutiny committee. It must becheaper to look after one defence – not two?

500 homes were at riskFreedom of Information request allowed us toreceive the questionnaire data numerically,but this then showed 413 postcodes against241 respondents (172 missing respondents).They then accepted they were not “respondents”, but “households”, so if two people voted, only one was counted. We gave

D

Sea wall objections overrulednames and addresses from 5 households inone road where the Council recorded onlyONE. These facts and many more, were givento the Council, but they have never replied orchanged the results. 500 homes were at immediate risk of flooding in 2013, but reduced to 237 twelve months later. The Planning Department wrote to inform me thatmy beach hut neighbour had applied for Planning permission to carry out work. However, despite many hut owners living out-side the borough, not one of the 400 involvedwith the preferred option received notice.

Richard Atkins has always said that “the Cliffssoil is granular material”, despite evidence fromthe British Geological Survey stating it waspredominantly London Clay. We instructed the

Page 10: Thorpe Bay - June 2014

10 T H O R P E B A Y O R A C L E www.oraclepublications.co.uk J U N E 2 0 1 4

Geotechnical Laboratories to take 5 samplesfrom this soil and we received a 10-page report, confirming it was Clay/Silt, which willtend to be impermeable & offers very poordrainage. Our concern has always been layingLondon Clay soil on top of a sandy flood plainwill create a mudbath! If any one would like acopy of this report or want to be members,please contact [email protected]

John Prescott blamedThe day after the preferred option was approved, Garrison Developers applied forplanning permission to build 172 (2/3-storey)houses & 15 (3/4-storey) office blocks, in themiddle of the Flood Plain. You may rememberthey offered £2.5m towards the sea wall &local schools. This has now been reduced to£970,000 leaving £1.5m funded from the public purse. Half the houses previously builton their flood map were built within the last20 years, so this new development will add yetanother 200 to the statistics. Southend Council blamed John Prescott for allowing developments on flood plains, but will notchange it back? Association of British Insurersconfirmed that houses built on flood plainsafter 01/01/2009 will NOT be covered underthe new FloodRe agreement, so how can theyapprove this application? The CP8 Core

OBy Peter Lovett

Strategy Policy insists on 30% being affordablehomes, but none are shown. 850 cars a day areexpected to use this site – How do you thinkthis will affect the infrastructure, drains, watertable etc?

This is not a political challenge, but when 51Southend councillors are ruled by 8 Conservative cabinet members, it is time to dosomething – Doing nothing is not an option.We have had tremendous support from all theIndependent Councillors in the borough, butthey have limited voting power. Having been aConservative voter all my life, it is a sad day thatthe only way to obtain Councillor support, isto vote for a local Councillor that listen to yourconcerns, not just at election time. By the timeyou read this, local elections will be over, butyour vote will give them the mandate to proceed or reject the Shoebury Common preferred option.

In preparation, we have instructed a MarineConsulting Engineer to design an alternativeflood defence scheme, using the soil, but thiswill not effect our Common. We are excited bythe preliminary details received. The wave engineer is just finishing the final touches, afterwhich we hope to submit for Planning Permission. More news to follow.

Inspection Report

Part of the job of every Headteacher is to monitor constantly the school’s performance as a whole and plan for continuous improvement. So it is extremely useful when, every 6 years, a team of objective, experienced peers – often serving Headteachers from other independent schools, visit to inspect the school. The framework used by the Independent Schools Inspectorate to make judgements about schools runs parallel with Ofsted and is approved by the Department for Education. This document summarises a very encouraging and glowing inspection report that genuinely recognises the strengths of Thorpe Hall and our many achievements since the last inspection in 2008.

hy do so many men make such a meal oftheir holiday wardrobe? Here's my

jetsetter's guide to getting your man looking cool thissummer.

For many long-suffering partners, the excitement ofan impending and much anticipated holiday is sadlytempered when he starts to pack his suitcase. Britishmen have an almost unique inability to dress for theContinent and, when walking among the locals in adelightful Mediterranean setting, this becomes all themore noticeable.

Decent shades onlyTake a good pair of sunglasses. If you choose something classic, like Ray-Ban Wayfarers or Aviators,you can’t really go wrong. Even when accessorisedwith a spur of the moment, whimsical purchase of awoven straw hat – so long as it is a Panama or Trilbyand NEVER a pork pie-style. Decent shades can softena multitude of sartorial sins. I’d also advise you to buyyour sunnies at home, before the combination ofheat, booze and “holiday brain” start to rule his men-tal roost.

Of course, as every sensible lady knows a capaciousbag on holiday is wise, especially if you’re hitting thelocal shops or heading to the beach. However, a manbag should really be worn with the strap across thebody and at a length where the bag sits on the hip. If

W it is worn on one shoulder and slaps against theknee, he will look like a recalcitrant teenager, reluctantly ambling to school. If in doubt, buy arucksack – they’re manly and practical.

Long-sleeved shirts always look good and can discreetly cover sun-burned arms. My advice wouldbe to buy before you fly, as the temptation to buysomething ‘fun’ is an all too common occurrence.

Avoid going nativeWhat’s more, when you buy clothes at home, youtend to think in terms of what looks good at homeand abroad. If he decides to go native and sportwhat is all the rage with the locals, this can look incredibly daft when strolling down the HighStreet. Finally, it goes without saying that what hesticks on his feet can make or break not just theholiday but also your relationship. In the right context, flip flops are fine and sandals, such asBirkenstocks, add an air of relaxedness but underno circumstances should they be worn with socks.

n the 21st June at 2pm, Old Southendian & Southchurch Cricket

Club will be hosting the Norway national team,in a T20 warm up game for the ICC Division 2 European Championship tournament, beingplayed throughout Essex during the followingcouple of weeks.

The Norwegian cricket team is thenational cricket team of Norway. In a country of5.0 million, Norwegian Cricket has about 5000members.

Cricket was first organised in the 1960s by a fewAsian immigrants and has grown to the currentstate of 24 clubs playing in three divisions.

ECC Trophy wonNorway became a member of the InternationalCricket Council in 2000, and played their first international tournament that year. They won thetournament without losing a game, but did notplay again until 2003 when they took part in theECC Trophy for the first time and won the tournament. This qualified them for Division Twoof the European Championship in 2004. In 2005they won the European Affiliates Championship,the equivalent of the ECC Trophy. They onceagain won the tournament and qualified for Division Two of the European Championship in

Oracle Sport 2006. They won that tournament which gaveNorway a place in Division One for the first timein 2008 and earned them a place in DivisionFive of the World Cricket League (WCL).

In July 2008, Norway met the top nations of European cricket where they participated in theDivision One of the European Championshipbut only finished sixth.

In August 2009, Norway travelled to Singapore to compete in Division Six ofthe WCL. Norway only won one of five groupmatches and finished sixth overall. As a result,Norway was relegated to Division Seven.

In May 2011, Norway travelledto Botswana for Division Seven of the WorldCricket League and their relatively poor performances at ICC events continued as theyfinished fifth overall. Fifth place saw Norway relegated to Division Eight of the WCL.

Fresh BloodHowever, by the end of year 2011 a drasticchange in team performance was observed,due to inclusion of some fresh blood. Under thecaptaincy of Zeeshan the team went on to winseveral qualifying rounds and titles. This success got the team a spot in another ICC qualifier event and in 2013 they competed inthe 2013 ICC European T20 Championship Division One in England where they finished in8th place, securing wins over Sweden andGibraltar.

Old Southendian & Southchurch Cricket Clubare delighted to be hosting Norway and wishthem every bit of luck in the tournament. Admission on the day is free and refreshmentswill be available throughout.

Film review: Pompeiihe problem with disaster/natural catastrophe movies is that we all

know what happens in the end. Film-makersare faced with the common problem of howto retain audience interest in the run-up to themoney shot finale, whether that’s the sinkingof the Titanic or in this case, the cataclysmiceruption of Mount Vesuvius and resultingdestruction of the city of Pompeii.

$100,000,000 BlockbusterPaul WS Anderson (previously responsible forthe Resident Evil series) presents the latest$100,000,000 blockbuster, set in AD 79. Tokeep us all seated in the meantime he has cobbled together a clunky sub-plot/love storybetween slave-turned-gladiator Milo (Kit Harington from Game of Thrones), and thelady Cassia - generic wealthy hot totty straightfrom central casting ( Emily Browning).

Milo does everything with his chiselled abs –they had curly perms AND anabolicsteroids in AD 79. The gladiator element of the‘plot’, enables Anderson to stage multiplescenes of sweaty fisticuffs and, gratuitouslygraphic fight sequences.

Meanwhile in the background Vesuviusrumbles ominously and the occasional slave islost to earthquakes that go unnoticed by

T anyone important. There is a range of trulybizarre accents on offer, most notably fromKiefer Sutherland’s wicked Senator Corvus,who seems to be aiming for Posh British, butends up somewhere between Frankie Howerd(Up Pompeii indeed)and Dick van Dyke inMary Poppins.

Plenty of Bang!Corvus is a proper villain, and does get aproper grisly come-uppance. It must be saidthat Pompeii delivers plenty of bang for yourbuck when that mountain does finally blow.The gladiator arena collapses – smash-bangcrash! Exploding fireballs cascade downupon the fleeing Pompeii inhabitants – fizz-whooshwhizz! The resulting tsunami sweepseveryone in its path to their deaths – swoosh-screamgurgle! So despite the risible dialogue,ludicrous plotting and irritating bromance between Milo and his fellow gladiator Atticus(Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje from Lost), thebit we’re all waiting for is spectacular.

Unfortunately, there’s nowhere left to go forthe tragic lovers, so the inevitable terminationsequence does leave you feeling cheated, in a‘not with a bang but a whimper’ kind of way.Still, those abs eh?!.

recipe of the month

Next month’s recipe:'Roasted Rhubarb and Lemon Curd Pots’

Rack of Lamb with Green Herb Crust

his is a brilliant dish for a special dinner.Lamb is expensive and racks are the best

cut, so go to your local butcher and he will preparethem for you and they will be cheaper than asupermarket.

You can sear the lamb and put the herb crust on wellin advance and then 25 minutes before you needthem pop them in the oven. They really are easy todo and worth the effort.

Enjoy!

Rack of Lamb with Green Herb CrustServes 4

Ingredients:2 racks (best end of neck) 6/7 cutlets on eachAsk your butcher to skin and chineSalt and freshly ground black pepperPinch of cayenne

For the crust:1 tbsp mustard powder4 tbsp softened butter6 tbsp fresh breadcrumbs6 tbsp finely chopped watercress6 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley2 cloves garlic, finely chopped1 tbsp green peppercorns in brine, drained andchopped

Method:Preheat the oven to 200/fan 180/gas 6

1. With a sharp knife remove all but a thin layer offat from the meaty side of the racks and then scorediagonally in both directions to make a close latticepattern( this will help hold the crust in place).

2. Season generously with salt and pepper and ahint of cayenne pepper. Roast the racks for 10-15minutes, remove from the oven then leave at roomtemperature to cool.

3. Combine the mustard powder and softened but-ter to form a paste and then spread this over themeaty side of the racks. Now make the crust bycombining the breadcrumbs with the finelychopped watercress, parsley, garlic and crushedpeppercorns, and pat this mixture over the butteryside of the lamb so that it sticks. Drizzle the meltedbutter over the lamb and leave to one side untilready for the final roasting.

4. When ready preheat the oven to the same temperature as above and roast for 20 minutes.Leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving. O

Oracle Motoring

fter years of planning, the commercial vehicle industry has launched an initiative

that actually seems quite simple. They have launchedthe ready to go commercial vehicle range providingyou with readily converted commercial vehicles, deliverable within two weeks of ordering.

The vehicles have been pre-fitted with industry specific internal fixtures and fittings such as rackingand storage solutions, and can be used immediatelyafter delivery.

Save your Business 20%Businesses could save up to 20% by choosing readyto go vehicles compared to the cost of buying a vanand arranging a separate conversion. Initially, the pre-fitted vehicles are available for the plumbing,electrical, joinery and general construction trades, butthere are further launches planned for later this year.

The ready to go commercial vehicle range providesan easy, flexible and economical way to integrate newvans into your business. Contract hire makes it easy tomanage costs and the vans themselves were readyto use and look incredibly professional. The ability toacquire such high-spec vehicles so quickly gives companies the chance to get on with the businesswithout disruptions.

This deal has saved companies valuable time andmoney whilst adding value to their fleet – an attractive proposition for any business looking tocapitalise on new opportunities coming out of theeconomic recovery.

A All-in-one PackageAlthough the ready to go commercial vehiclerange delivers pre-fitted vehicles, it’s not just a one-size-fits-all solution. The commercial vehicleindustry has worked closely with their clients todevelop an all-in-one package that works for thebusiness from a functional and financial perspective. For further information please ringyour local commercial vehicle dealer.

Increase RevenueThis initiative is designed for companies who needa vehicle fitted and delivered within a short periodof time. If you have a fleet of commercial vehiclesthat you need, this can also be organised, savingyou time and effort and potentially increasing yourrevenue as you drive around in a brand new, fullyequipped commercial vehicle.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Chris Miller feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although

that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Southend, Leigh on Sea and Thorpe Bay areas

his approach is a major

factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for,

which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

holds its Selective Information Evening. It is to helpyou decide whether you wish your child to sit the11+ test in order to gain a selective place at Shoeburyness High School.

Following eight years of record performance andbeing recognised by the Department for Education as one of the top 100 schools nationally for best improvement in straight GCSEsincluding English and Mathematics, the school hasattracted pupils for selective places from outsidethe borough for the next Year 7 intake in 2014.

In year 11, our highest-ability students also take their AS English a yearearly, achieving outstanding grades. This givesthem a real advantage in Year 12. At A level, our

O pass rate is an impressive 99% and our whole post-16 cohort are currently above the National stan-dards in all performance indicators of success rate,achievement rate and retention rate. At Shoeburyness, we have also bucked the nationaltrend for university entrance, doubling the number of our students going on to universityand getting our first students studying at OxfordUniversity.
