Researchers based at the Broad Institute in Cambridge have pinpointed the gene that is the biggest risk factor for schizophrenia discovered so far, and figured out how it does its damage.
NEW trees planted in front of seafront homes could block their view and “reduce the value of houses”, residents fear. Residents of Lodwick and Leitrim Avenue in Shoebury have called on Southend Council to remove a row of stone pine trees planted along Shoebury Common Road. The residents fear that when fully grown, the trees will block the views from their homes out over the beach huts and seafront. Southend Council has responded to the concerns by saying that for the trees to grow to full potential of 12 to 17 meters it could take up to 50 years. Bruce Cuthbert, who has lived on Leitrim Avenue for 13 years, said it was “intolerable” for the council to plant the trees and that there hadn’t been a consultation with residents.
