Planning<br />
During the open session a<br />
resident raised strong objections<br />
to dwellings – one in particular –<br />
which are being erected at the rear<br />
of his premises in Queensway. The<br />
resident contends that the threestorey<br />
dwelling in question is being<br />
erected at the wrong angle so that<br />
it overlooks his property with some<br />
of the windows facing directly into<br />
some of his rooms. He was told that<br />
he needs to fi nd evidence that the<br />
overlooking dwelling contravenes<br />
the plans, and was advised to<br />
contact the legal department at<br />
Colchester BC. Councillors will<br />
investigate the situation to ascertain<br />
if there has been any breach of the<br />
plans. They noted that, when they<br />
had originally examined the plans,<br />
they had recommended that they<br />
be refused.<br />
Litter<br />
It was reported that an annual<br />
spring clean of Tiptree had been<br />
undertaken the previous day<br />
(Sunday) and that one ton of<br />
rubbish, including discarded car<br />
tyres and a mattress, had been<br />
collected - this in spite of regular<br />
six-weekly Sunday morning<br />
litter-picks. Mr Terry Vickery who<br />
organises the Tiptree litter-picks<br />
intends to mount a campaign<br />
to make residents aware of the<br />
problems of litter and of fl y-tipping<br />
in the village and to encourage<br />
them either to deposit their rubbish<br />
in the bins provided or to take it<br />
home with them for disposal. He<br />
is particularly concerned about<br />
the numbers of ‘doggy bags’,<br />
complete with contents, which are<br />
left hanging on shrubbery in various<br />
locations and which obviously<br />
present a health hazard. Mr Vickery<br />
emphasised that the litter situation<br />
was much more serious on this<br />
occasion than previously and<br />
councillors agreed that there has<br />
been a signifi cant increase in recent<br />
months.<br />
Maternity consultation<br />
It was reported that North East<br />
Essex NHS is inviting suggestions<br />
for the improvement of its maternity<br />
services from members of the<br />
public. Drop-in sessions have<br />
therefore been arranged where<br />
those using, or having used,<br />
those services may go to offer<br />
their suggestions; these are: in<br />
Colchester on April 10 and 17, and<br />
in Harwich on April 24.<br />

councillors at the deteriorating state<br />
of Brook House, Eventually it was<br />
