NEW Tendring councillors have vowed to represent their constituents and deliver on their promises after being voted in. Residents living in the Eastcliff ward and the West Clacton and Jaywick Sands ward went to the polls on Super Thursday. They were voting for who they wanted to represent them in the district wards’ two vacant seats. The Eastcliff seat was previously occupied by Joy Broderick who died last year after a long battle with cancer. The West Clacton and Jaywick Sands seat, however, has been vacant since previous councillor Nicola Overton was disqualified. She was removed from her post by the authority after missing several council meetings, which she has since put down to months of health problems.

A BEACH blaze which was started days after a coastal village was hit with several arson attacks in one night was started deliberately. Essex firefighters were called to Beach Way, Jaywick, shortly after 7.30pm on Wednesday following reports of a fire on the seafront. Upon arrival they found what residents believe to have been a pile of waste and wood which had been torched not far from the water. After working on quelling the fire for roughly half an hour, the crews managed to safely extinguish the blaze by 8pm. A spokeswoman for the Essex County Fire and Rescue Service said it is being treated as arson.

VERIFY: Can companies adjust vaccines for COVID-19 variants without approval?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. While health officials assure the current COVID-19 vaccines are safe and highly effective against the known variants of concern, it is possible that, one day, companies might need to adjust them if any gaps in protection arise.
The prospect has some online wondering how that process would work, and if necessary, just how swiftly would companies be able to roll out these new formulas? Could they just debut them as soon as they are ready?
