It has been necessary to close the Play Area due to Government restrictions.
Brentwood Borough Council has suspended its fortnightly kerbside of glass bottles and garden waste. However, the weekly collection of recyclable waste (orange bags), non-recyclable waste (black bags) and food waste continues as normal. The recycling centre in Coxtie Green Road has been closed, along with other Essex recycling centres.
Recent actions by the Parish Council include:
- Preventing travellers from getting onto Eagle Field.
- Listing Eagle Field as an Asset of Community Value, thus safeguarding it as an area for recreation by village residents.
- Replacing the damaged fencing around the picnic area in Eagle Field and fencing off the sump next to Blackmore Road.
- Erecting new or replacing benches at Swan Pond and Poors Field.
We have also had to deal with an unprecedented wave of vandalism to public property. This has unfortunately required the removal of the benches in the picnic area next to the play area and the new information board at Swan Pond.
Whilst the primary shopping, entertainment and transport facilities are located
in nearby Brentwood, the village boasts its own Post Office, convenience store,
camping shop, estate agent, DIY outlet and even a Secret Nuclear Bunker! Local
education is provided by an excellent Infant and Junior school within the
village and a choice of good comprehensive schools in Brentwood and Ongar. Local
clubs and organisations are well catered for with both the village and church
halls providing a convenient venue for many popular local activities and
functions.
A delightful village pond provides a central focus for the village. The parish
has two public houses (both provide food) and an Indian Restaurant within its
boundaries providing attractive venues for those wishing to enjoy good
hospitality, food and drink. The Green Belt designation has led to Kelvedon
Hatch becoming a very popular commuter village surrounded by open space,
well-maintained footpaths and arable farmland. Access to the M25 motorway is
only minutes away and with a good and regular train service to London from
Brentwood, the village is a very pleasant and popular place to live. Buses run
from Kelvedon Hatch to both Brentwood and Ongar. We enjoy all the benefits of
rural life and the benefits of being close to popular towns and transport
routes.
