Don't let them upset our Village
HGV's
"NOT THROUGH
OUR
VILLAGE"!
The Village does have sympathy with the top end of the Flowers Estate near the Station however, if all the residents at the top end truly feel affected by commuter parking then attend the SORA meetings monthly and get your point accross and get the support of all of the Flower's Estate! BUT! Any cost proposed to residents would be rejected!
All the best to you!
The Village
Don't get caught out
Use your Vote!
Whatever your Politics!
Don't waste it!
There is a Restriction on HGV's in South Road, from the West Road juntion to the Buckles Lane junction! This should also apply to Tamarisk Road and Orchard Road as they have spurr roads leading to South Road!!
I need you to take reg numbers and phone numbers from these vehicles where possible and report them to the police and highways!!!
Hello! I'm back in the driving seat and getting ready for the journey of reporting issues in my village again!
It has been a very long time since my last input and there are so many important issues to cover however, I need my community to stand together and support each other! There can be no sitting on the fence anymore, that is how you get hoodwinked and the Government and Local Council's get what they want and not what you want!
So here we go with a list of Issues to start!
HGV's through my Village!
HGV Restriction in Tamarisk Road ( Sign to be put back )!
Parking Restrictions on The Flowers Estate!
NHS Thurrock PCT's Cuts to our Vulnerable (People who are not curable) See Thurrock Gazette 26th March 2010!
The Stones Throw Site: 4th application refused now going to appeal!!! Watch this space!

HGV PETITION IS VITAL

This is a very important Issue
RURAL ARISINGS & BELHUS LAND Ltd intend to bring a minimum of 100 HGV Tippers through South Ockendon to tip their loads on the Arisdale site in Order to create the New Belhus Country Park. The roads that will be used are West Road, South Road and Daiglen Drive. These operations will be for Five and a Half days per week over the next 12 years. This is not acceptable as this would add much more to the already overload of traffic using these routes & South Road has a 7.5 ton restriction anyway.
We petition the Thurrock Thames Gateway Corporation to find an alternative route for these vehicles as the existing roads are now congested enough and with alterations done in Daiglen drive with their mini roundabouts and school crossings, this traffic volume is not acceptable. Driving through the Village is not acceptable.
Your support is needed and to sign the Petition which will be distributed soon.
CONTACT YOUR COUNCILLORS AND LET THEM KNOW YOUR VIEWS.
This is not about the Country Park, we want the Country Park, but not at a cost to Lives or to the quality of our Environment.
"POWER TO THE PEOPLE"

The Truth, The Whole Truth, Nothing but The Lies

READ YOUR
THURROCK GAZETTE THIS WEEK
Just to put the Record straight. It was I that instigated the petition for the Zebra Crossing and nothing to do with the Forum.
This action was started due to my finding a Senior Citizen waiting to cross South Road for 10 minutes as no traffic would slow down or stop for her. It took well over a year to get this far with it (still waiting for white line painting), but we got there.
It was the People from the Flowers Estate, Brandon Groves, Orchard Drive, South Road and Ockendon Village that signed the Petition and supported the Crossing, with the support from Cllr Lawrence and Cllr Arnold.
I could have forecast the Lie because I knew this Councillor would not tell the Truth.
I was informed a long time ago that there was opposition to the zebra crossing, by someone living on that Terrace along South Road. I also wrote a letter informing the Residents in that Terrace, that if our Crossing application was rejected then I would petition the Council to put double yellow lines on each side of the road to stop kerb parking and have the old bus stop lay by filled in. I have pictures of her car illegally Parked on the kerb and will continue to take pictures as evidence of her breaking the law and this is a Councillor!!!
This Councillor did know about the crossing, that is why she tried to get it stopped for her own selfish reason of parking her car.
I opposed her application and quite rightly the application was refused.
In my opinion she used her position to try and manipulate the decision of the crossing to gain favour for her application of a dropped kerb, but failed. She knew, so she should tell the truth and Publicly appologise, or resign!
Had she got her way, then I believe that the car would probably be parked on the verge crossing two pathways, because that is what people do and she proves it by parking half on the Kerb everyday.
You can see the plan at the top. This Plan was sent to all who were living in the close proximity of the Proposed crossing and were asked for their comments. I believe that once she saw this plan she was the one who opposed it. Tell the truth Woman or resign! Maybe you could go and work for Ken Livingston?
I would believe that Your Tilbury Riverside Constituants would want to know the type of person they elected, especially that you do not live in their area!!!!
REMEMBER THIS LADY, YOU GOOD PEOPLE, BECAUSE THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RESPONSIBLE PERSON REPRESENTING A COMMUNITIES SPIRIT AND WELL BEING. "NOT MUCH HOPE FOR THEM THEN!".
