PROTESTERS wearing animal masks are taking a stand against plans to build hundreds of homes on green belt land. Extinction Rebellion is staging two protests today in an effort to block plans for homes on undeveloped land across Thundersley and Rochford. More than 50 campaigners are set to wear animal masks and arrive dressed in black outside the Castle Point Council offices im Thundersley and Holt Farm Junior School Road in Rochford. Plans for 637 homes to be built off Ashingdon Road, Rochford, are being considered while Daws Heath, Thundersley, is included as a site in Castle Point’s housing plan for the next 20 years.

A NEW mass vaccination centre for south Essex is opening today as the NHS ramps up delivery of Covid-19 jabs in our communities. Runnymede Hall in Kiln Road, Thundersley will be the 14th large vaccination hub opened by Essex Partnership Trust in the last nine weeks. It follows large-scale centres at the Cliffs Pavilion in Westcliff, the Mill Hall in Rayleigh and the NHS offices in Runwell. The new centre is open after the NHS launched a renewed drive to protect the vulnerable with underlying conditions such as diabetes and some forms of cancer. GPs have already been inviting those with the conditions from their patient lists, but the NHS is now texting them with a link enabling them to arrange a jab at a vaccination centre or pharmacy-led service at a touch of a button.
