Clements Hall Swimming Pool Filthy
May 31, 2008 by Editor · Leave a Comment
A DISGUSTED swimmer has slammed “filthy” conditions at a council-owned leisure centre.
The 23-year-old, who asked not to be named, said he was shocked at the state of the changing rooms on recent visits to Clements Hall Leisure Complex in Hawkwell.
The leisure centre, in Clements Hall Way, is managed by Virgin Active on behalf of Rochford District Council.
“Recently, I noticed a used plaster that had been deposited by the side of the pool. The following day, it was still there.
Could this have meant the end for the Hawkwell Surgery?

The fight put up by the Hawkwell Community saved the old Dr. Sen Surgery from closure but is this proposal another threat from the local NHS?
“A DOCTOR has launched a campaign against plans to develop a new super clinic in Rochford and Rayleigh.
Dr Jamie Nicholls, of the Jones Family Practice, in Hockley, said patients could have to travel miles to see a doctor, and the personal touch will be lost.
Rumours have been circulating about derelict land next to Rosedale Court in Hockley Road, Rayleigh being the likely site for the super clinic.
GPs would be given the option to move into the new superclinic, but Dr Nicholls fears there will be no choice in the matter.”

Still No NHS Dentists for Hawkwell and Hockley
June 10, 2007 by Editor · Leave a Comment
The Hockley Residents Association (fondly known as the HRA) has been campaigning for several years to get NHS Dentists for our area.
Brian Guyett, the Chairman of the HRA, is leading the campaign and I called him for an update.
Effectively, we are a bit stalled. Our petition to Rosie Winterton was met with the predictable straight bat – “its down to the PCT”.
PCT say no money and seem to be favouring the less socially affluent areas of the District (always assuming they can get a dentist to open there).
So our aim is to raise local profile and invite PCT to a meeting in the autumn. Sadly, despite best efforts we also got little press coverage.

Closure of Doctors Surgeries in Rochford and Hawkwell

Medical Care : Matter of Concern Number 4, Residents Survey – Hawkwell West 2007
I have been contacted by many people in Rochford District about the PCT intention to close the late Dr. Sen’s Surgeries in Hawkwell and Rochford.
I understand that a final decision will be made by the NHS Primary Care Trust on 29 March 2007, 12.30 pm at Harcourt House, Harcourt Avenue, Southend. This meeting is open to the public.
Let me say that I have not been consulted, nor have the imperative reasons why these have to close been made known to me by the PCT.
