Chigwell Pothole crises

Whilst travelling along Lambourne Road during the recent Parish litter-pick I noted down defects in the surfaces of two roads, that I believe would cause a danger to people traversing along the footpath. We have a large percentage of elderly people living in our community and they already have COVID-19 to contend with.  Moreover the depth of the defects could easily cause serious damage to any users of the footway and both roads are very close to our local secondary shopping arcade.


Lambourne Close at the junction has several deep defects and I have now reported this to Essex Highways Team and to the Parish Council.  Essex Highways have given the following reference: 2681988.


The very deep defect on Raymond Gardens is also a concern and Parish Council and Essex Highways have been informed. Hannah Chowdhry has reported the case with Essex Highways reference: 2681985.

If local residents could send me images of other defects I will ensure that they are appropriately registered for review by the Highways Team.  You can email me on wilson@eastilfordbettermentpartnership.org

What the Dickens, is going on in Chigwell?

At the end of our journey local history buffs congregated under the Dickens Oak. Please join our rapidly growing community facebook page   (click here) On Saturday 5th December 10 people from Chigwell and the surrounding area travelled across the various sites in Chigwell Row and Chigwell Village that had a connection to the world famous author Charles Dickens.  Initially people met just behind the car park of the Maypole pub The tour began at the Dido Oak in Hainault Forest accessible via Sylvan Way.  This is a veteran oak (old but not quite ancient a list of definitions can be found here ) that was once made famous in Tatler Magazine back in 1903, due to an article about the Hermit of Hainault, a man named William Bell otherwise known as Dido who once lived in the forest under the cover of some sackcloth.  In his pocket he carried herbal roots, snakes, newts and anything else he could make money form.  Apparently he used to say: 'They call me Doctor Bell, Because I make my patien
