The deadly Lower Burnham Road claims more victims. Thoughts are with the relatives of the victims and the people at the scene.

Not in the Dengie but a strange story from nearby Colchester. Who abandoned an urn in Lidl and why? Several puns spring to mind but are probably best unposted! www.maldonandburnhamstandard.co.uk/news/2549865...

Really scary news from East of England Ambulance Service that they are under extreme pressure amid high demand.It is only September with the busy season for falls & covid/flu etc still to come. If they are stretched now what will they be in January? www.maldonandburnhamstandard.co.uk/news/2548785...

Agree entirely with the Grumbler on Christmas goods this early but mince pies may be a special case. We get plenty of seasonal items esp fruit & Veg available all year round so why not make mince pies an normal bakery item rather than a Christmas item. To quote "A mince pie isn't just for Christmas"

The Grumbler @thegrumbler.bsky.social · Sep 23

There are Mince Pies in my local supermarket. Before the cricket season is over

Another issue the ECB have utterly failed to deal with

Although Govt league tables can mislead it is still sad to see that the Essex NHS trusts are all nationally well under average and my local trust -Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is 123rd out of 134 nationally. That certainly reflects local perception. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@essex.gov.uk are consulting on reducing financial support to 41 routes in Essex including Southminster to Chelmsford and Bradwell to Maldon & Bradwell to SWF . That could well mean loss of some services. If you use or support these routes comment on consultations.essex.gov.uk/iptu/localbu...

I am all in favour of apprenticeships but I thought Greater Anglia were losing their franchise on October 2025 to re nationalisation. Most staff will transfer over so will the new Govt body take them on?

Cancellation of the much needed widening of the A12 has rightly attracted criticism and now the Govt are writing of costs to date of £250,000. Labour blames the Tories who in turn blame labour. Rather than cancel why not delay & add to the next tranche of roadbuilding that will follow in a few years

The accident yesterday with a private jet crashing shortly after takeoff at Southend is a tragedy for those families affected.It shows the folly of using an airfield where housing estates are closely pack around its perimeter so after another few seconds flying it would have crashed into the houses
