TRAFFIC SURVEY 25th MARCH 2010
The Parish Council are waiting to hear the date of the Local Development Framework (Core Strategy) Public Enquiry which could be as early as June 2010 and in readiness would like to undertake a traffic survey of the two roads which will serve the planned developments should they be passed, Rawreth Lane and Beeches Road/Watery Lane. Both these roads already suffer from congestion and very heavy traffic movement and the Council would like to have factual information as to how many cars use them each day to present to the Planning Inspector and before any further development is approved..
The Parish Council would like to do a survey of car movements along both roads over a twelve hour period, 7am to 7pm on Thursday the 25th of March 2010. We are looking for volunteers to help collect this information and basically all you need to be able to do is count and spare two hours of your day. It is planned to break the day into 2 hour shifts consisting of two people per shift, and we are planning to collect data from three points, the entrance to Rawreth Playing Fields, Rawreth Lane, the junction of Priory Chase and Rawreth Lane, and the junction of Chelmsford Road and Beeches Road, so thirty six people in total are needed
If you can offer your help please contact the Clerk by email clerk.rawrethparishcouncil@btinternet.com or phone 01268 631821 (please leave a message if the answer phone is on with your name and number and I will return the call) .
Thank you in advance and please spread the word to anyone who does not have access to the Internet. or those who do not live in the Parish but will still be affected should these developments be approved.
St Nick’s Job Clubs
The Parish Church of St Nicholas, Rawreth, is pleased to be able to serve our community by offering two kinds of Job Clubs from the New Year 2010.
Have you just spent a long, frustrating week at home, because you have lost your job? Have you found it a lonely experience, cut off from your familiar world of work and colleagues and purpose? Could you do with a chance to get out of the house, to clear your head, and perhaps to ‘chew the fat’ with others who are trying to deal with similar situations of unemployment?
Well, if so, Space@StNick’s is there for you!
The church building will be open on Fridays from noon until 2.00pm. Tea, coffee and light snacks will be available, free of charge. If you need someone to talk to – in confidence, if you want – there will be someone available for you. If you just want to chat with others there, that’s fine, too. It’s your space…
Perhaps the thing you really need as you process your unemployment situation is a bit of a helping hand to get back on the hunt for a job? Perhaps it has been many years since you had to update your CV? Maybe you have never had to do it before? Or, maybe it is the application forms that bamboozle you, or the job interviews that make you so nervous, or….whatever the skill you might want some help with as you search for new work, we want to help you with it.
The church building will be open on Wednesdays from 8.00pm until 9.30pm for Skills@StNick’s. Refreshments and a warm welcome will await you there, alongside training and advice from some church members who have experience in recruitment, writing CVs, interview-technique, and a number of other areas. All to help you a little at a difficult time…
So, if either – or both! – of these Job Clubs could be for you, or someone you know, then please come along and make use of them! You will be made most welcome!
[St Nick’s Job Clubs will start in January 2010, and will keep running, twice each week, for as long as there is a need.]
