Films of Colour continued to be the band to watch after having a Bowie song published in a tribute album. Once again Diwali lit up the Thameside. There were touching tributes to former councillor Daphne Hart who passed away.
It is the quiet ones you have to watch out for and the Dockers have now moved into a play-off positions and on equal points with Grays.It has been a very fruitful festive season for the Rocks with their third win in a row. It is looking much brighter.
The victim is a 35 year old man from Grays who was walking to work. He was attacked in Conway Gardens and again in Argent Street, Grays at around 2am this morning (Saturday December 31 2011). Several men pulled up in a car, spoke to him and then assaulted him. They then drove off and returned to assault him again shortly afterwards. The man has serious injuries but not believed to be life-threatening. He was taken to hospital for checks and treatment.
“A month before the Olympic Flame comes to Thurrock, we will all be celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee — 60 years on the throne and as head of state is really something to recognise. “So I am asking everyone who is considering organising a party or any type of celebration to get in touch with the council.
Labour’s Richard Howitt MEP voted last week in the European Parliament in Strasbourg to pass a law restricting the use of potentially harmful chemicals in detergents and washing powders. The use of phosphates in cleaning products that are subsequently flushed or washed away have been linked to excessive algae growth in lakes, rivers and streams, killing fish and other marine animals.
Proposing the plan, portfolio holder for regeneration, Cllr Andy Smith, said: “To help in the speeding up of new investment in Thurrock, the council and development corporation have been working with DP World to find innovative ways of removing unnecessary delay and bureaucracy from the planning process when dealing with individual buildings on the site..”

TOWIE star, Kirk Norcross helped out at the Seabrooke Rise clean up day. Another day, another royal as the Duchess of Cornwall flew in to visit Sericc. The M25 celebrated its silver jubilee.
Proposed electoral boundary changes were published and could see Orsett go to Brentwood and Ongar.
The Thurrock Council “Let’s Talk” roadshow went to Orsett but there was a very poor turnout. The same happened in Chafford. You can only try. A bin strike was averted as the council and union came to an agreement.
He says: “I have learnt from members and officials of the council alike of their enduring efforts to help our part of Essex, improve its facilities and services in the interests of the entire community. Those efforts I am sure will continue long into the future.
The attack happened in May. At the time it was reported that the pony died after two men got into the stables at Kemps Farm on Stifford Hill, North Stifford. It was then alleged that the horse was sexually assaulted it and then hacked to death.
Since September, the council and its partners — including NHS South Essex — have been working closely with the home, its staff, residents and their families to ensure the problems are addressed and to help create and act on specific action plans.
ROAD closure times in Thurrock are likely to be reduced by an average of 39 minutes with the introduction of 3D laser scanning technology, roads minister Mike Penning said today. Essex is among 27 police forces in England to be awarded the high-tech scanners as part of a £2.7million project by the Department for Transport.
Two free workshops are taking place in the West Barn at the High House Production Park, Purfleet between 11am – 1pm and 2pm-4pm on Saturday 14 January to for young people develop ideas. No previous experience of playing or creating music is necessary – just ideas. Composer Duncan Campbell is leading the workshops, giving expert advice and helping the budding young composers create original and exciting fanfares.
LABOUR’S parliamentary spokeswoman for Thurrock is urging commuters to buy their season tickets a few days early to save money on the fare hikes that will come in next week. Polly Billington says: “These fare rises are really going to put pressure on people’s wallets. The Tory-led government’s decision to do this shows they are out of touch with the cost of living crisis facing commuters in Thurrock.

About a week before he was reported missing (precise date not known) he was seen getting into a big black car driven by a black man who is thought to run a nightclub in Ilford, east London. Paul is originally from Scotland and still has family living in Clydebank who, like his wife, Christine North, are concerned for his welfare.
The riots came to London but stayed away from Thurrock. YT spent most of the key day trying to dampen rumours as dozens and dozens of people contacted us with “I’ve heard that……..” Two males ended up in court over passing on texts….and Labour councillor Aaron Kiely apologised over some of his tweets on twitter.
The schools were once again remarkably busy in July. With exams over, education continues but there was lots of extra-curricular.
Gateway Academy had a great fun day. William Edwards waved goodbye to Ralph Henderson and Gable Hall did the same to John King. Hassenbrook had a lovely Year 10 presentation evening. Grays school had an excellent art exhibition while St Clere’s transition week highlighted their international credentials.
“It is a move that is happening with full acknowledgement and supervision of the FA, the Ryman Football League and Essex FA – and also Companies House. The process is fully scrutinised at all levels and is recorded and recognised in administrative records of the Ryman League of which Grays Athletic officials will be aware.
