from Sunday, July 29, to Wednesday,August 1, 2012.A district council report states: "Such a proposal would not have been possible if theCaravan Club proposals were to proceed, but their withdrawal enables seriousconsideration to be given."The intention is that the areas immediately in front and to the north of the control towerwould be used to park about 5,000 cars while the land used for the market (the apron)would be used to load and unload the coaches taking visitors to the white water site nearWaltham Abbey.Representatives of the ODA are to attend a meeting at North Weald on May 20.The council report adds: "Whilst the airfield has not been used as a formal park and ridefacility before, it has been used for a broadly similar purpose during scout jamborees whenit served as a 'staging post' for buses, other vehicles and equipment operating between theairfield and Hylands House in Chelmsford."This was a very effective operation demonstrating that the airfield operational staff wereable to manage such uses alongside the operational aviation requirements."No objections to pub plans6th May 2010EPPING Town Council has voiced no objections to extension plans for an Epping pub.Permission is being sought for a first floor extension at the Forest Gate Inn, Bell Common.Planning and general purposes committee chairman Ken Avey told Tuesday’s meeting:"As far as I am concerned it’s an improvement on the original."Council clerk gains distinction5th May 2010ONGAR Town Council clerk Mark Squire is the first in Essex to receive a distinction in hisCiLCA studies.He received his Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA) from Ongar TownCouncil vice-chairman and staffing committee chairman Diana Roberts.The Essex Association of Local Clerks says Mr Squire is the first clerk in Essex to gain adistinction since the new CiLCA studies were introduced in 2008.Mr Squire, who has been clerk for 15 months, studied all aspects of council administrationincluding finance, planning, employment issues, insurance, roles and responsibilities andcommunity engagement.He said: "I had to prepare a portfolio comprising 24 sections covering all elements of mywork."The work schedule was demanding, fitting in the studying at home, whilst also continuingmy busy role as clerk."I set myself a target of a year to complete the qualification and I think I finished with twohours to spare!"East 15 students staging festival week5th May 2010GRADUATING students at East 15 Acting School are staging a unique festival week.The week -
