Improvements in store for popular Canvey beach

Added attractions - Concord beach, on Canvey, where some of the improvements are planned Added attractions - Concord beach, on Canvey, where some of the improvements are planned

BEACH lovers are set to benefit as a volunteer group is splashing the cash to improve facilities along Canvey seafront.

The Friends of Concord Beach group has submitted proposals to Castle Point Council to install a £12,000 shower at Concord beach, off Eastern Esplanade, in a bid to make the area more family friendly for youngsters.

Ambitious plans are also in the pipeline to paint a series of colourful murals on the sea wall between the beach and the Labworth Cafe, to tell the story of island’s history, the tragedy of the 1953 flood and the construction of the new sea defences.

It is hoped that local schools and members of the community will be involved in creating the artwork.

Colin Letchford, chairman of the Friends of Concord Beach group, said: “We have had a lot of requests from people asking if we can install a shower for the kiddies to wash their feet and to extend our work further along the seafront. It is great that people really appreciate our work.

“Unfortunately these things do take a long to come together, but hopefully we will be able to get planning permission and get things underway. We would like to carry out the murals with local schoolchildren as a kind of educational project, but anyone who can handle a brush is welcome to help.”

Permission for the artwork and the new shower has already been granted in principle by the Environment Agency who is responsible for maintaining the sea walls.

The group is also planning to install 14 new handmade benches on the site as well as improving disabled access to the seafront for elderly and less able residents.

Mr Letchford added: “That is the next phase of our plans, and we are talking with a local business who might be able to help us complete the relevant designs for the project.”

The dedicated volunteers have already worked their magic to dramatically improve the beach in the last few years, painting murals, installing 34 handmade and specially engraved benches, as well as conducting frequent litter picks to ensure the area stays clean.

Donations to the project can be made to the Friends of Concord Beach group by contacting Mr Letchford on 01268 511076.

12 grand for a shower? I bought an entire 'cabin' in France - shower, body jets even a seat for less than 300 €.

I suggest they buy 5 grands worth a sand and a few rubbish bins. And a hose.

Why should tax payers pay more money to encourage people to just one part of the seafront again. If the owner of the Concord Beach cafe was a relative of a Tory councillor there would be a suggestion of back hands and all sorts. But as she is a relative of a Town councillor nothing will be said.
Why not spend some of this money by Mick's cafe were the surfers go?
All Mick gets is warning letters from the council.

You really are a peanut. If you had attended the last Neighbourhood Meeting you would have known exactly why the foreshore is in a mess apart from this area. You didn't did you?

Ermm, read the article. Friends of Concord Beach is a volunteer group, so no tax payers money involved.

This group has done more for the beach than the Environment Agency has.

I only see the FACT, that a proposal had been put forward to CPBC, dosnt say anywhere that they were asked to pay for it? Not saying that wont be the case, but I would'nt be suprised if they do agree, its on the basis that they will only layout a nominal amount and will expect the organisors to find the rest via donations and other funding.
Still a 12000 pound shower is a drop in the ocean compared to the ammount of money CPBC has wasted over the past year!!
May I suggest, Instead of moaning Upset as a keyboard Warrior, why dont you get up from your armchair and do something within your community, (maybe next to Micks Cafe), You really are a sour and bitter old Cow.

Didnt see you complain when they spent 18miilion pounds of tax payers money on a road to no where and then wasted 500,000 pounds on a core strategy that was scrapped just a few months after it was published, But you have the nerve to moan about a few quid to improve an area for the good of many.

Cobblers, its so easy to spout rubbish like you do but you never ever back it up.
2 years ago I managed to obtain via funding £26,000 for a well known childrens group on Canvey which allowed them to install a brand new Kitchen. What about you Upset come on instead of lies and bulls*t why dont you stop the armchair warrior bile spouting and get up and do something instead of moaning and whining.

However I can assure you and your partner in crime I have done my fare share to benefit the Island. Yes I am against the Town Council and the CIIP and I will continue to have my say about things I feel are wrong. Just like John and the Tory's, but that's his view and no one should insult him for his views and nor should I be.
I am not against spending tax payers money on the seafront but not all, on or around concord cafe.

You know I really have to laugh. If you had attended the Neighbourhood Meeting or purchased an "Echo" you would know exactly how ridiculous your comment is. Ask Councillor Howard what I handed to him and others at the meeting and what was in the "Echo". It was all about the dreadful state of the foreshore and what as tax payers we should get and are not.

And what have you done out of your arm chair? PS I am a not so old bull, and you and my other fan club member have no idea what I have or have not done, but I choose not to shout about it.
Cobblers, its so easy to spout rubbish like you do but you never ever back it up.
2 years ago I managed to obtain via funding £26,000 for a well known childrens group on Canvey which allowed them to install a brand new Kitchen. What about you Upset come on instead of lies and bulls*t why dont you stop the armchair warrior bile spouting and get up and do something instead of moaning and whining.
Well done for getting the funding anyone who has had any experience of getting that will know what a long uphill battle it is.
Well done Iknowbetter but I think you dont need to advertise what you have done as those who you have helped know.
However I can assure you and your partner in crime I have done my fare share to benefit the Island. Yes I am against the Town Council and the CIIP and I will continue to have my say about things I feel are wrong. Just like John and the Tory's, but that's his view and no one should insult him for his views and nor should I be.
I am not against spending tax payers money on the seafront but not all, on or around concord cafe.
You know I really have to laugh. If you had attended the Neighbourhood Meeting or purchased an "Echo" you would know exactly how ridiculous your comment is. Ask Councillor Howard what I handed to him and others at the meeting and what was in the "Echo". It was all about the dreadful state of the foreshore and what as tax payers we should get and are not.
So we are singing of the same him sheet to benefit Canvey but have different ideas how this should happen then.

Quote from Upset,aka the armchair warrior.
And what have you done out of your arm chair?

You asked the question I was able to give you the answer.
Stop contradicting yourself, I would if I could be bothered give you at least 3 examples of where you made "childish" insults in previous threads, not so nice when the shoe is on the other foot is it.
Your last comment made me chuckle,

" I am not against spending tax payers money on the seafront but not all, on or around concord cafe"

The simple answer is get out of that armchair dear and do something about it instead of wallowing around in your own little fanatasy world and stop moaning and whining about other people that actually have.

Lets get back to the editorial questions, is it correct that those who have had a go at me, believe there is nothing wrong with the fact that money keeps being spent in and around Concord cafe and the rest of the sea side of the sea wall has nothing spent on it?
Yes it will benefit visitors to the beach and therefore benefit the cafe owners, where as Mick has nothing spent in and around his cafe, he even has to cut the grass outside. It's about fairness something others on here seem to have overlooked.

Yes that is correct, if a group of volunteers have taken the time effort and resource to raise funds to improve an area they use frequently and is used by 1000's of visitors each year, then its their right to decide where those funds are spent.
Your personal issues with Liz are blinding the fact that they are doing a great job with the cafe and the raising of funds to improve the area where they live and work. ( a bitter pill for you to swallow Upset I know).. but its a FACT, a word your not so familiar with.
Go back 5 years, are you saying the improvements that have been made since are not worthwhile? Are you prepared to get up and start a Friends of Micks Cafe group and spend hours raising funds to improve the area around his Cafe? Or maybe Mick himself should do something? why rely on other peoples good nature to help improve his business?
What you also fail to realize Upset is there are many other business's that are benefiting from this groups hard work, not just the Cafe, not to mention the children who all along have been involved with the friends of concord beach efforts. But your still happy to criticize and whine about it but are not prepared to get up off that chair and contribute.
You mention Mick has to cut the grass outside his business, F.Y.I, if the land is leased as part of his business then he has a duty to keep it tidy, you wouldnt expect the council to come a cut the lawns of all council tenants backyards as you wouldnt expect them to cut it for lease holders of a business. but I dont expect you to understand that being you are blinded by the green eyed monster.

Her's a question for you Upset. You have bleated on and based your sorry little argument around tax payers money, just exactly how much of tax payers money has so far been spent on the area around Concord beach? In contrast just exactly how much has been raised by the volunteers through hard work and sponsorship's?
Come on lets see if you can back up your argument!!!

We should all take it then, that by your silence you are unable to answer the simple questions. I'm not suprised though, its the usual for you, no facts just pure made up rubbish fueled by your personal issues with a certain cafe owner. How sad!!

Just think, even your dogs will benefit from the hard work of the friends of concord beach and according to Upset, thanks to the Tax payer, they will have a shiny knew shower to wash off all that sand and mud. Told you Canvey wasnt all bad. PMSL.

They'll be a queue a mile long for that shower at 7am every morning. I hope it's a power shower. For 12 grand I'd want it to shave me, clip my toenails and wash Percy.
