Devolution of Councils

Published: 18 Feb 25

This consultation will last until 13 April 2025 at 23:59. This consultation seeks views on a proposal to form a Mayoral Combined County Authority for the local government areas of Essex County Council, Thurrock Council and Southend-on-Sea City Council (referred to as Greater Essex in this consultation). In December 2024, the government published the English Devolution White Paper. This sets out plans to move power out of Westminster and back to local communities, ensuring that every part of England is covered by devolution. The local council leaders from Essex County Council, Thurrock Council and Southend-on-Sea City Council have since written to government expressing their interest in taking forward devolution within their area through the establishment of a Mayoral Combined County Authority, with the first election for a Mayor taking place in May 2026. Before taking a decision on whether to proceed with the making of the necessary legislation, the government is seeking views from interested parties, including those who live and work in the area.

Avian Flu

Published: 10 Dec 21

*** SWANS - UPDATE 10th December 2021. *** Please be advised that there has now been a positive identification of Avian Influenza in our area. If you keep just a few birds or thousands, you are now legally required to follow strict biosecurity measures on your farm or small holding. We will be taking advice from the relevant authorities and will feed this back to residents. Advice remains not to touch any dead birds and not to encourage the live swans onto the public land / slipway where they can contaminate the ground which could present a risk to domestic poultry or humans by transferring disease on footwear and clothing. Use caution, wash footwear after walking in that area and do not touch the swans. Please report any dead waterfowl to the Defra helpline 03459 335577 Read More...

Victims of Fraud

Published: 24 Nov 20

Very sadly, it is statistically shown, that our senior and retired members of our community are at most risk of becoming victims of fraud. You walk into a café, restaurant or hotel and login to their free unsecured wi-fi… but is it theirs!? This is just one of the many subjects discussed, in a fascinating and informative on-line event we are looking to hold, to support, advise, and give an insight, in a bid to try and prevent fraud offences taking place. If you are a senior member of our community, retired, or have a family member that fits the bill, with access to Microsoft Teams (App), and they would be interested in participating, please email warren.lamb@essex.police.uk in the first instance.
