LOGAN â Christmas arrived early for several city departments Tuesday in the form of a new excavator and trailer purchased by CARES Act reimbursement money.
Costing a total of $66,992, the city is now the owner of a brand-new Bobcat E42 compact excavator that will be used across several departments for various projects such as water line breaks, house demolitions and tree removals. Department heads say the excavator will greatly reduce project time.
Herb Staten, the cityâs utility supervisor over the water and sewage departments, cited a large water line break on Nov. 18 as an example. During that break, ORDERS Construction â the contractor on the new boulevard bridge â allowed the city to use their equipment, but the repair still took more than 24 hours to complete.
Essex County Council is sending out vouchers to parents of eligible children and to qualifying young people. It means the families of 35,000 children and young people will have £30 per child to spend on food over the two-week holiday. Parents and young people will be sent their e-vouchers by email or text by Friday 18 December. Printed vouchers will be provided to parents who cannot access them online. The vouchers can only be exchanged for food. They can be used in most supermarkets and the McColls chain of local shops. Louise McKinlay, cabinet member for children and families at Essex County Council, said: “Building on the extensive support that we have given to families during the pandemic, the Christmas free school meals initiative should mean there is food on the table for every one of the 35,000 children and young people in Essex who are eligible for free school meals.
