We noted the Summer Essex Police Drink Driving campaign. Which led us to wonder. What happened to the Xmas campaign? The cuts we are told.

Education

Steve Munday took up his place as the new head of William Edwards and so did Dr Sophina Asong, new head at Gable Hall.

Whilst South Essex College students were always in the news with a whole host of activities.

Hassenbrook had a great success evening and St Cleres students won a road safety quiz.

Entertainment

Thurrock Drama Festival was once again a success. Small audiences but a great raft of entertainment.
