Local Info Solar Farm
O
n the 19th August 2015 a company called Lightsource presented a proposal to building a solar farm in Hawkwell adjacent to Hockley Woods. I was surprised that this event was not widely advertised, in fact I only new about it the day before from social media and a leaflet in the post. I am also surprised this event was held in the small Hawkwell Village Hall Annex causing residents to queue up outside and that a large part of the car park was cordoned off for no apparent reason. I am not against the idea in principle but unless the land is guaranteed protection as green belt after its estimated 25-30 year life, I believe the land will then be regarded as a brown field site. It may seem unlikely that this area would ever be built on due to its location and that it is agricultural land, but if this area was used as a solar farm and is regarded as a brown field site, it would make this area suitable for development. This would then be the thin end of the wedge for further development to this location from the existing built up area of Hawkwell. There is no guarantee that green belt will not be built on, as in the case of the Clements Gate Estate - 176 homes being built on green belt in Hawkwell, but if an area is regarded as a brown field site there is a greater chance of this happening. Do we take the chance of the area being a future building site? It appears to me to be a gamble and a gamble that will not effect me personally but will effect future generations.
Belisha Beacon
T
he combined crossing light and belisha beacon near Thorpe Road in Main Road Hawkwell, that I think was knocked down in January, was reinstalled about 3 months ago. Would you believe that at the time of writing and 8 months on from being reported, it is still not connected to
a power supply. This is the responsibility of Essex County Council Highways that still have loads of road and paving repairs that need doing and street lights that are not working. I wrote to MP Mark Francois and he got some reaction but not enough to get the job completed. Does it take someone being knocked down before anything is done?
Dog Mess
W
e are still getting complaints from residents about dog mess left on our streets by a few irresponsible dog owners. We have all trod in it from time to time and know what an unpleasant experience this is. There is also the issue of dog mess and eye disease, especially with children. Rochford District Council and Hawkwell Parish Council supply dog bins on many dog walking locations but if there is no bin available you must pick it up, bag it and take it home. Alan James Vice Chair of Hockley and Hawkwell Residents Associations www.hockleyresidents.co.uk www.hawkwell.org
How to increase your metabolism and feel more energetic
I
often get asked “Why do I feel I have more energy after exercising than when I didn’t do any at all? It doesn’t make any sense. I’m expending more energy than I did before!” The answer lies in your mitochondria, where 90% of your all energy is produced. • When you start exercising, your mitochondria become more efficient at providing energy • Exercise produces more mitochondria • More mitochondria = more energy Your efforts in the gym have helped you increase your mitochondria and in turn this then increases your metabolism! By Mo
Autumn Garden Tips
T
he nights are already drawing in, but that doesn’t mean you need to say goodbye to your garden just yet. Read on for our top autumnal tips. Get a Head Start Save yourself a mammoth Spring job by making a start on your garden maintenance now. Weeding, raking, pruning and netting ponds are all upkeep essentials that will make a big difference when you start gardening again in the new year. Grow Your Garden Autumn is the perfect time of year for relaying a new lawn. It’s not too hot, so your lawn won’t dry out and the damp conditions and cooler temperature will allow your lawn to take root before the harsh winter weather sets in. Stay Safe Patios, decking and driveways can become dangerously slippery if not swept frequently. Invest in a quality outdoor broom and sweep away any leaves or debris on a regular basis. This keeps you safe and your property looking smart through the winter months.

I
f you are putting in place care for an elderly relative, it is often a stressful time. The “system” doesn’t make things clear and you may suffer feelings of guilt - even when you are trying to do your best for loved ones who can no longer cope at home alone. You may find that the care process is daunting and complicated. How do you plan for care fees? What about the 7-year rule? How do you deal with gifts and mental capacity? How much should care cost your relative? Should the state be helping out? Our lawyers can help you answer these questions and explore what they mean for your family or friends. So if you, a family member or friend are struggling to piece together the jigsaw of care, or are having difficulties in making decisions that need to be taken when “elder-care” is on the horizon, then why not make an appointment with one of our lawyers for a chat. We will help you make sense of things.
