All activity centered on the National Guard training building at 63rd and Kelley. Gov. Kevin Stitt was living nearby on the premises while the Governor’s Mansion was being renovated, so the National Guard center was the epicenter of COVID-19 response in the early days of the pandemic. The Governor’s Solutions Task Force met seven days a week in the early days, all day long. Several of them sat down with KOCO 5 to discuss their work in COVID-19’s early days. “We had been looking and watching Wuhan and it became relatively clear to us that you weren’t going to stop the spread,” said Brig.

It would be nice to have it used again - calls to restore historic pier CAMPAIGNERS are calling for action to restore a historic military pier and make it safe for anglers and families to use. At 380ft long, the MoD’s Barge Pier, at Shoebury Garrison, has a long way to go to rival the Southend landmark just a few miles away. However, residents believe the pier - with an 84ft wide pierhead - has plenty of room for walkers and anglers. But sadly the structure is no longer safe. The pier, most recently used for a display of remembrance poppies, has been fenced off from the public, but there are calls for it to be preserved rather than be left to crumble into the sea.
