Pleased to have confirmation last night at #Braintree DC Budget meeting that Green cllr requests for solar panels on #SilverEnd village hall are included in draft Budget; £61k.

Makes sense that when roof is replaced (scheduled work) solar panels are added on the largest village hall in England.

Litter pick today along my usual stretch of road in #Rivenhall - only about 200 mtrs long - & this was the result.
A pile of the usual garbage thrown from vehicles by selfish, ignorant people whose names are not known but who buy from fast outlets including McJunk, KFC, Wild Bean Cafe.

The brass neck of Farage - Reform UK & himself are on BBC routinely. He has been on BBC Question Time 38 times.
And if its possible to have 2 brass necks - he is also a presenter on GB News, which is in effect Reform's house TV channel.
Perhaps he really wants his own channel.

Largest Full Moon of 2025 tonight.
At midnight, Full Moon beams down from altitude of 60 degrees - almost as high in sky as the Full Moon can get from here in #Essex
Because the Moon is near the closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, it is also that bit larger and brighter than usual.

National Grid now agrees Henry will not to be harmed by their pylons plan & they agree it is being recorded in their plans as a veteran tree.
Thank you to everyone who signed our petition.
