Chair’s Report We were delighted to co-opt and welcome Ellora Roy as a new member of Council at our September meeting and we look forward to the active and positive contribution we know she will make and are very pleased to have her as part of our team. I am delighted to say we are no longer have any vacancies and are a full council of 17 members. As we head towards the end of the year the focus of Myland Community Council moves to our budget and plans for 24/25, where we are looking to continue to bring more of what we have been able to do in the Parish, balanced against increasing costs and the desire not to add to the financial burden of local residents. We are always interested to hear from residents on their views of pressing needs and our priorities in our community, so please let one of our councillors or myself know. One of our aims is to actively support local organisations benefiting the Myland area. We have recently agreed to another year of support to YMCA youth workers and their Friday youth club activities where numbers are growing and have provided grants for Art workshops and have recently agreed £5,305 on playground equipment at Rosewood and accepted a quote to provide wheelchair access at the Braiswick Lane / Fords Lane recreation ground. Huge thanks to Cllr Marina De Smith for all her effort with the recent very successful bulb giveaway. This has been running a number of years now and makes a positive impact to our community and to Cllr Pete Hewitt for the work behind the new interpretation board at Rectory Close. These small things all add up to keeping a good sense of history and pride of place in our community. We continue to receive regular reports from our local Ward Councillors and Essex County Council so we stay in touch with wider matters. As always please come along to our meetings and see how we work, otherwise any comments, positive or not, feel free to ring or Clerk on 01026 853400 or email [email protected] Cllr Alison Jay Chair of Myland Council 5
