Just seen a comment on FB from a chap in #Essex whose dad is in the #RNLI - his dad has been told by the #security team *not* to wear uniform off duty for his own safety due to the level of backlash against RNLI helping #migrants (from people who have 0 idea of how #maritime operations work, and that the whole concept of that service is to retrieve humans (and sometimes other creatures) who have ended up in the sea / tidal waterway but didn't intend to be there)..

Sir Rod Stewart is right - I was in South #Essex myself a week ago, having turned off the #A12 on a fruitless search for a loo (I later found one at #Chelmsford), and regularly found myself having to drive almost in the crown of the road to avoid #potholes , and this is in a modest #VW #Polo (stock springs, not lowered or anything like that) - not a #Ferrari (I dread to think how much that would cost if you scraped it, even a millionaire may baulk at the garage bill)

Frinton-on-Sea has always been a bit snooty. No pubs were allowed, and instead of "keep off the grass" signs they had ones that read "no picnicking upon the greensward". An old railway advert, seeking to attract ferry passengers said "Harwich for the Continent". It was invariably defaced with "and Frinton for the incontinent"

A coastal town. A mown greensward on the left gives way to a tumble of green wildflowers on the cliff edge. In the distance are smart, white, art deco buildings

I got some of the shopping centre names wrong as I rarely go into South #Essex and have not been to #Basildon since 1990 (and was ejected from the Eastgate shopping centre by security for wearing a hoodie and hanging around with local youths I'd befriended) - but I seem to spend a fair bit of time in the area recently (including long drives along the #A12 as its the only route out of this part of #EastAnglia to SE England)

Local #Transport Minister Simon Lightwood participated in the 'Battle of the #Buses', a precision time trial event with #Essex cricketers Matt Critchley and Paul Walters, to promote bus driver apprenticeships. The event, organised by First Bus, highlighted the rigorous standards and skills required for bus drivers, including manoeuvring, reversing, and passing a theory test. The government is investing £1 billion to improve bus infrastructure and service reliability, as part of the Bus Services Bill. This bill aims to boost local control, enhance driver training, and improve safety, including measures to tackle anti-social behaviour and violence against women. It also outlines a transition to zero-emission buses by 2030. The event underscores the importance of bus services in driving growth and creating job opportunities across the UK.

An exhibition titled ‘Do You See What I See?’ is being held at #Colchester rail station to raise awareness of sight loss, coinciding with the 200th anniversaries of the modern #railway and Braille. Launched on 18 March, the exhibition features art created by blind and partially sighted (BPS) individuals, showcasing their unique perceptions of the world. It includes railway heritage signs with braille and tactile lettering.

Supported by the #Essex Sight Loss Council and funded by the Thomas Pocklington Trust, the exhibition aims to challenge misconceptions about art #accessibility for BPS people. It will remain on display until the end of April.

Additionally, a symposium will be held to gather insights from BPS passengers to improve transport accessibility. Greater Anglia's Customer and Community Improvement Fund has supported this initiative, highlighting the importance of community-focused rail improvements.
