There has been much debate recently about the urgent requirement for improvements to the flood defences at Shoebury Common. Some of the debate has been irresponsible and arguably none more so than this. I have always maintained on this issue that as an elected representative, I have a duty of care and an obligation to protect residents lives and homes.
Residents may be interested in two upcoming events on this issue, where they will have the opportunity to ask questions, view documentation and hear the reasons behind the proposals.
The first event is a drop in session at Thorpe Bay Yacht Club this Wednesday the 27th June from 13:00 - 20:00. The second is a public meeting of the Shoebury Residents Association, which I helped organise on the 11th July at St Andrews Church, Church Road, Shoeburyness starting at 20:00 where officers from Southend Council will be in attendance. These events will give residents the chance to form their own opinions based on the evidence provided.
