Make the most of Summer!

NOW is the time to visit Karen Castle Opticians to see our new exclusive range of designer sunglasses which can all be made to your prescription from only £99 complete.

You can choose single vision lenses, ideal for driving , or varifocal or bifocal lenses for a small extra cost which are perfect for reading by the pool on holiday!

All our sunglasses provide 100% UV protection which helps to prevent cataract and macula degeneration with age.

Opting for glamourous big sunglasses with wide arms helps stop squinting and wrinkles too!

We also offer sunglasses with special lenses for different sports - in particular Polaroid lenses which are ideal for angling and all watersports and enhanced contrast tints for golfers.

ST PETER & ST PAUL PARISH CHURCH SERVING THE COMMUNITY FOR 800 YEARS! The parish church of St Peter & St Paul has stood as an abiding sign of God’s presence in the village for nearly eight centuries. It is a beautiful building, rich in history.

But it is no mere monument to times past; our church is home to a living community of faith.

Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday at 10 am, and every Wednesday at 9.30 am. A warm welcome awaits you.

And if you would like to discuss a wedding or a baptism, or you would simply like to know more about our church’s life and the faith we share, we would be pleased to hear from you.

ST PETER & ST PAUL: “On the edge of the village.

At the heart of the community.”

Local Info

A

client of ours runs a successful estate agents in Essex, their line of work requires them to rely heavily on modern technology and as we all know, technology at some point will require updating!

Their existing server ran Windows Server 2003 which was coming to the end of its life cycle as Microsoft plan to stop supporting that system, they also had several machines still running Windows XP that were very slow and even struggled to open modern internet web pages. All of this meant that the workforce couldn’t work to its full potential and they were behind the times in terms of having up to date technology.

Our solution was to replace the server with a brand new HP Tower that runs Windows Server 2012, this will allow everyone connected to the server to share resources faster and more efficiently. We also supplied the office with brand new PC’s that were very high spec, great value for money and had a white case as per the customer’s request!

All these upgrades in technology help to make a more efficient and effective working environment to be in.

If you’re looking for advice on New tower installed how you could improve the technology for your business or home feel free to get in contact with us.

Barclays Bank Closure

A

s you are probably aware our last bank in Hockley the Spa Road branch of Barclays is closing on the 9th October.

It is because the number of customers has fallen by 51% in seven years mainly due to the increasing use of online banking.

Unfortunately a number of elderly customers are not up to banking online, as they have not grown up with the use of computers or ATMs. It also means that shopkeepers in Hockley will need to travel to Rayleigh or Rochford to bank their takings.

It’s a pity they cannot scale down their operation in Hockley but of course this costs money and banks are trying to save costs like everyone else. The only good news is you will be able to pay in cash and cheques to your personal Barclays account at the Spa Road Post Office and of course get money out of the other three existing ATMs in Hockley. Regrettably elderly people that cannot bank online or get to Rayleigh or Rochford will now be left in the unsatisfactory position of finding someone they can trust to help them out. Alan James Vice Chair of Hockley and Hawkwell Residents Associations www.hockleyresidents.co.uk www.hawkwell.org

A PETITION against the closure can be signed at Thoughts Card Shop, next to Potters of Hockley.

Local Info Pond Chase Nursery Development

H

Office & Chapel of Rest at:

7 Spa Road, Hockley 01702 206222

ouse builders Charles Church is preparing a planning application for residential development on the former Pond Chase Nursery in Folly Lane, Hockley. As part of the process of preparing an application, Charles Church held on the 3rd June a public exhibition on the 70 home proposal that provided local people with the opportunity to view the initial master-plan and speak to members of the development team.

The Hockley Residents Association are concerned that the Rochford District Council allocation for this area is 50 homes and we feel that this should be adhered to. We are also concerned that sufficient affordable homes should be provided and the infrastructure issue should be sufficiently addressed for drainage, flooding, power and water supplies and additional school places. We have further concerns about the access road junctions with the B1013 particularly with the busy Folly Lane junction that should be improved with maybe a mini roundabout.

Alan James Vice Chair of Hockley and Hawkwell Residents Associations www.hockleyresidents.co.uk www.hawkwell.org

White Hart Lane Dental Practice

C

ongratulations to Luke and Anastasia on your tenth year at the practice. It was a pleasure working with you both for eight of those years and continuing our friendship now, starting in the summer of 2005, watching the practice grow and grow, building relationships with patients and staff. The success of the practice is a credit to you both. Remembering that the Hockley Residents Association had its part to play in petitioning for the very first NHS Dentist in Hockley/Hawkwell.

Looking forward to celebrating the next ten years in 2025.

Happy Ending for Orla

A

n underweight rescue dog found ridden with fleas is starting a new life as an Essex Police drug, cash and weapons detection dog.

When Orla arrived at the Dog Unit in Sandon Chelmsford, her coat was so matted it had to be shaved off completely.

Now she's been teamed up with Pc Paul Arthey and is trained to sniff out cocaine, heroin and cannabis as well as ammunition and cash. Orla is a rescue dog from Crofters Rescue, Rayleigh.
