All credit to the volunteers who maintain the grounds of St. Martin's Church in such good condition :  When
visiting my Husbands grave in your beautiful church I took this
picture. It was two weeks ago but as you can see it was a lovely
day the birds where singing.
What a credit
the churchyard is to those who maintain it.
A piece of heaven on earth.

If you use the Car Park behind the Memorial Hall, read the notice there, pinned up on one of the telegraph poles. In their wisdom, the Chelmsford Borough Council is proposing to make
it an offence to park your vehicle in a C.B.C. Public Car Park other
than within the marker lines. There is the possibility of a £60
fine. Rather than risk this, it seems that you would do better cluttering up the main road where there is no such constraint and no such threat. |

Readers may note that Phuket was an island badly affected by the Christmas earthquake / tidal wave in the Indian Ocean. Happily, I understand that Jiem is O.K. Indeed, he was extremely lucky, having been on the beach only 15 minutes before the wave struck.
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to
all people in Little Waltham, especially my wife Janet Bradley and
family Dad John and Mum Joan Bradley.
I had a wonderful time in UK. I met many
lovely people.
I would like to say thank you for Mum
and Dad who always take care of me when I am living there.
I wish everyone has a wonderful time in
this special Christmas day and Happy new year.
Thank you.
Jiem From Thailand

Dear members of
the parish council,
I would like to express my opinion about the Ash Tree
corner bus shelter on Main road. Lots of children,
including my sister and I, have to wait at the bus
shelter every morning to catch a bus to get to
school. It is rather unpleasant to stand by
because it smells awful and there is graffiti on
the inside. The purpose of a bus shelter is
to stand in to stop the wind making you cold, and
if you are waiting for a long time to sit down
in, at the moment it is serving neither purpose
because nobody will stand in it let alone sit in
it, because of the stench. A little while ago a tramp
decided to sleep in there and went to the toilet in
there! There have been two other occasions when different
people have gone to the toilet in there and
because it never gets cleaned the smell still
remains. I know we are lucky we even have a bus
shelter and I am aware that other bus stops don't have
them, for example the bus stop on the Hospital
Approach, but in my opinion, having a bus stop
that smells so much might as well not be there because
we don't use it because it is so disgusting. The bus
stop at the end of Court Road has a glass sided
bus shelter that stops the wind and still
enables you to see the bus when it comes. I do
know of the problems with vandalism, but most
of it is done by gangs, and they mostly hang around
in small roads or parks, not usually on main
roads. Please build us a new bus shelter!!
Now I have
put foward my point of view it is up to you.
Please consider my
opinion.
Yours
sincerely Lauren Weavers age 12.

For those who don't already know, the occupants of this field were served an enforcement order over 12 months ago, and legal injunctions in September, October and February to clear the site. They have ignored everything. To press Chelmsford Borough Council to get on with it, contact the enforcement officer, Christine Lyons on 606211 or christine.lyons@chelmsfordbc.gov.uk. Phil Prowse |
