Fire Service urge Essex residents to Be Water Aware
As the current Covid-19 restrictions ease it is anticipated many people will head to coastal locations and inland water beauty spots. Few people would think they might become a water incident statistic. But the fact is in the UK in 2019 more people died from accidental drowning than cyclists did on the road.
The National Fire Chiefs Council’s (NFCC) Be Water Aware campaign is running from 26th April - 2nd May. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service has been taking part to encourage people not to be complacent when spending time in and around water. The aim is to encourage people to be safe by being aware of the risks.
Following simple advice will help reduce the 223 accidental drownings reported in 2019 and the many more injuries, which can be lifechanging, following water related incidents. Click the link below to read the advice.

Last chance to have your say on Essex Climate Action Commission recommendations
The Essex Climate Action Commission’s public consultation is ending on Tuesday 4 May and residents are urged to provide their views before it closes.
The consultation was launched so that Essex residents can give their views regarding a selection of the recommendations it has developed.
Since its inception in May 2020, the Commission has been developing its recommendations for ways in which the county can fight climate change and become net-zero by 2050.
Through the consultation, the Commission wants to find out how much public support its recommendations have, whether residents believe the Commission has focused on the right areas, and if its recommendations have the right level of ambition.
