Theft of Oil – Monday 19th Sept – early morning

In the early hours of Monday 19th Sept ( Sun/Mon), 1000 litres of heating oil were stolen from a property in the Clay Hills area.

Please be extra viligant. There appears to be someone with a screwed up moral compass looking to take advantage of the decent people of Pebmarsh.Â In many instances, a few simple measures will suffice in adding an extra layer of protection to your property.

Fit a lock on your Oil Tank – Lock your car at night – Lock your shed – Lock up before you go to bed. The police will gladly come down and advise you as to which locks to use if you are unsure.Â (101 not 999)Â

These are very isolated incidents so there is no cause for concern.

Message from Essex Police To Parish Council –

The Parish Council have received the following message from Essex Police regarding the recent riots and looting.Â Please see below.Â Â Â Joe Burlo l Chariman l Pebmarsh Parish Council l 01787 269999

Dear Councillor

Following on from the violent disorder seen across London and in cities across the UK, I wanted to write to you with some reassurance on the situation in Essex. We have sought to keep our communities informed and yesterday put out a strong message to the public via our website and twitter, as well as through the media.

We have seen no violent disorder in Essex akin to what has been happening in larger cities across the country. Where there has been minor disorder, Essex Police has acted quickly to make arrests. On Monday following a burglary in Buckhurst Hill, 13 men were arrested, and following minor damage to a police vehicle in Loughton, two male youths were arrested. In Harlow, four people were arrested for minor damage in the town centre.Â We have seen a number of young people gathering in large groups in various places across the county, but Essex Police has taken immediate action by deploying public order officers to disperse such groups. This early intervention has meant we have not seen any large scale disorder.

Last night (Tuesday) Police officers arrested a 17-year-old man from Clacton for incitement to commit violent disorder after comments were published on facebook encouraging people to gather at a location in Essex and cause disorder.Â The man remains in police custody. We also arrested two teenagers from Grays and South Ockendon, for using social networking websites for incitement to commit violent disorder.Â Essex Police is monitoring social media and will not tolerate anyone who uses the internet or any electronic communication device to send inaccurate and false messages intending to incite disorder, or cause alarm.

Essex Police has a robust plan in place and is utilising additional resources by calling officers and staff in to work on their rest days. We have been providing support to colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Service. We currently have between 50 â€“ 100 officers in London at any one time from within our establishment of over 3000 police officers, over 400 PCSOs and several hundred Special Constables.

Your support is important to us. When you are speaking to the public please help us by reassuring them that Neighbourhood Policing teams remain in place across Essex and Police Officers, PCSOs and Special Constables are working in communities to ensure a high visibility policing presence. Essex Police is doing all it can to ensure Essex remains a safe place to live and work and will continue to work with partners across the criminal justice system to ensure that any criminality is dealt with swiftly and robustly.

You can also assist the police by encouraging the public to call 999 if they witness any incidents taking place or to call our non emergency number 101 or 0300 333 4444 to pass on information or intelligence.Â

We are updating our website with the latest information in Essex throughout the day and night, so this is the best place to look for updates should the situation change. www.essex.police.uk

Thank you for your continued support and please get in touch if you have any further questions or comments.

Yours faithfully

Septic Tanks now have to be registered with the Environment Agency before 1 Jan 2012

Many Thanks to David Holland from Twinstead for the following e mail:

Hello All,

Septic tanks now have to be registered!

I thought you should all know about this.

If your home has aÂ septic tankÂ or a package sewage treatment plant, then you need to register the system with the Environment Agency or have an environmental permit..

Ã˜Â Â Â Â Â Â Registration is now required [Environmental Permitting Regulations].

Ã˜Â Â Â Â Â Â Should be done this year: [before 1^stÂ Â January 2012]

Ã˜Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Failure to do so could result in prosecution

Ã˜Â Â Â Â Â Â Link:Â http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/118753.aspx

There will be many people who are not aware; or will need help complying with this.

If you have fiends or neighbours who do not “do the internet” perhaps you could bring this to their attention.

When a Middleton parishioner challenged the Environment Agency (EA) about â€œhow should I have come to know about this?â€: Their response was it has been in all local papers!!! Really??

The EA website (link above) says:-

Registration is free
You only need to register once
Discharges toÂ surface watersÂ must be registered immediately
Discharges to groundÂ should be registered any time before 1 January 2012

You can register online which is simplest and there are help guides on the website.

It would be great if the internet users of our community could help the non web savvy members register and if anyone wants my help, you know where to find me.

I have registered my septic tank and found the on-line process acceptably straight forward though I found some terminology Â confusing. Still its easier than other web based offerings form the powers at be such as Revenue and Customs which I always find challenging.

I did struggle to find my National Grid Number (No, not that National Grid!) using the arial photograph based grid number finder until I realised that the number in question appears bottom left of screen if you scroll down to find it.

I hope you find this useful.

With best wishes,

David Holland (Cllr)

PS -At least this makes a change from me going on about pylons!

PPS – We have Cllr Keith Hughes of Middleton to thank for bringing this to our attention.Â
