We had a progress meeting this morning and I understand that the planning application is due to be submitted shortly (about two weeks from today), you can view this on the Essex County Council planning portal once it has been submitted. You won’t find anything before we submit.
The images below are 3D sketches of what is intended, before and after. Essentially, we intend to fill the outer arches and create an embankment, the centre arch will be reinforced with a corrugated steel multiplate arch system which is commonly used in this scenario. This allows us to support full carriageway loading, and in doing so re-open the road, whilst maintaining the bridleway beneath the bridge.
Please note that the forthcoming talk by Roger Smith at 7:30pm on 15th March in the Smythe Hall, Stow Maries will not be given on behalf of, or authorisation from, the Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome.
The Stow Maries Church Council wishes to place on record its grateful thanks for the recent and very kind donation towards the repair of the church roof.
It was made by the family of the late Roy Martin after it asked for donations instead of floral tributes in his memory.
To date, the Council has received over £3,000 as a result of this thoughtful gesture by Sandra, Claire and David and it will make a considerable contribution to the amount of money that the Council has to raise.
Anyone who also wishes to remember Roy in this way can obtain details from the Council Treasurer, Jane Coe.
