If you live near Battlesbridge, or go there to buy antiques or have a good meal, you might be interested in the work going there to improve the tidal defenses on the River Crouch nearby.
This is especially significant as there are possibilities of the highest tides for 25 years this autumn!
You can see what’s going on by looking at the website for Rettendon Parish Council – there’s just been an update there and you can download some photos.
In any case, it’s quite a cool website for a parish council – it even has games!
