A GANG of dealers have admitted playing a part in selling cocaine across Southend after they were arrested in dramatic raids. All four gang members admitted conspiring to supply cocaine to drug users in Southend between December 2020 and April this year. They appeared in court yesterday and will be sentenced “as soon as possible.” Jason Balding, Gary Salvin, Daniel Deadman and Tony Carter were arrested by Essex Police when the force carried out dawn raids at a number of homes in Southend on April 10 this year. Judge Andrew Hurst agreed with prosecuting barrister Adam Budworth to adjourn the sentencing hearing until all basis of pleas had been submitted by the men, due by the end of June.

Jon Henderson walked along the runways of Bader Field just after noon on Monday talking about the new location of the upcoming Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival when he began receiving text message after text message.
The messages were about Gov. Phil Murphy dropping many COVID restrictions including removing all outdoor gathering limits. This was good news for Henderson, of Good Time Tricycle Productions and the festival’s producer, who will hold the hugely popular event outside at the abandoned airport for the first time in its 16 year history.

A boil order was lifted Friday morning in the Morgan Park and Beverly neighborhoods, a day after a century-old Far South Side pumping station lost power, but residents were advised to run their faucets for five minutes before drinking the water.
Water samples tested by the Department of Water Management showed the water is safe to drink, department spokeswoman Megan Vidis said in a statement.
The boil order was issued Thursday as a precautionary measure after the Roseland pumping station lost power for an hour following ComEd maintenance, causing water pressure loss for thousands of people, Vidis said.
