There were numerous Cabinet meetings and pre-meetings, there were Executive Board meetings and Improvement Board meetings. One-to-one meetings with each Cabinet member, including me, to improve relations and to improve the services that Thurrock Residents, as the tax payer, received.
At the end of the year, the Audit Commission gave their assessment and declared that the Council was Improving Adequately.
I have enjoyed serving residents of Chafford Hundred. To keep you posted, I kept this blog updated weekly, carried out occasional street consultations, by knocking on numerous doors to ensure that I obtain your views as residents.
I have taken these views back to the numerous meetings above and ensure that residents views are entrenched in the policies of the Council - this has resulted in achieving the following for Chafford Hundred:
- New traffic calming measures in front of Warren Primary School
- Two new extra classrooms in Warren Primary and Chafford Primary Schools
- A new GP surgery due to be constructed at the development behind Bannatynes
- Devonshire Road weight restriction made permanent
- Support to the proposed Youth Development off Rainbow Road
- Current campaign to restrict the speed of traffic off Rainbow Road
- Ensuring that Chafford keeps our Police Community Officer
- Ensuring that Chafford Library was unaffected by the recent changes to these services unlike other areas in Thurrock
I pledge to continue working hard for Chafford Residents in 2010. Thank you for the support, the emails and Christmas cards stating your appreciation.
