Community Transport User & Awareness Survey 2026.
Due to the positive level of engagement received so far, Essex County Council has decided to extend the survey period until 30 October 2026 to provide additional time for residents to participate.

This will allow more time for residents, carers, volunteers, Community Transport users, and those interested in Community Transport services to share their views and experiences.

We understand that there have been a couple of break-ins in the village over the past few days: at St Mary's and the Pentecostal churches, and a lawn mower taken from someone's property.

Residents should take extra care to put equipment away,
secure homes and outbuildings, and to be vigilant.

If you see anything suspicious happening call the police on 999, or if you notice something has been taken please call 101.
