Looking at the latest stats for traffic on this site, it was interesting to see that my weekly West Shoebury reviews have been the most read posts on this blog since May. This probably shouldn't be no surprise especially as a disgruntled UKIPer this week informed me that the UKIP Eastern Counties Chairman and past West Shoebury candidate James Moyies has instructed his members to follow local councillors who blog and websites of local political parties as it, in his words, "is amasing how much time and work they can save you" if you are a UKIP election candidate. Honest, straight up, as ever, I am happy to share the disclosure upon request. Those who wish to see the evidence, just email me at cllrcox@southend.gov.uk.
So to all the readers of this blog and for James Moyies benefit, my apologies for not writing a review last week but things have been really busy with a variety of work in the ward and across my portfolio. A couple of weeks ago, I attended the latest West Road Community & Traders Association meeting and continue to be impressed with their work in West Road and the West Road Shopping Area. I also want to give a plug for the latest community event organised by the West Road Community & Traders Association in West Road on the August Bank Holiday Monday, where a street party is planned from 10:00 - 17:00. Further information can be obtained from Rubel at The Polash Restaurant by emailing him at thepolashrestaurant@hotmail.co.uk.
On the 27th June I attended the flood defences drop in session at Thorpe Bay Yacht Club and was delighted to share my thoughts with many that attended. Just a quick reminder to residents that the Shoeburyness Residents Association have a public meeting on this issue this Wednesday at 20:00 at St Andrews Church Hall in Church Road.
Over the past couple of weeks there has been some positive action on issues that have been raised by residents. Action has been taken on overgrown grass in Weare Gifford and the weeds in the Alleyway behind West Road have now been treated.
Replacement signs which indicate the Alcohol Exclusion Zone in the ward have been erected after some of the signs had been stolen and Ness Road from the roundabout with Elm Road leading to ASDA has been resurfaced which had been deteriorating for some time. In addition, I also attended the monthly Taxi Drivers Association meeting where I was able to put a residents concern regarding alleged speeding by taxi drivers on Maplin Way and Maplin Way North to the committee and was able to help a resident in West Road with an anti-social behaviour issue.
