FYI- anyone travelling to the pool tonight from off the island

🚧 PLEASE SHARE: Confirmed info on Tarpots FULL ROAD Closure 25th July - 15th August 🚧

I have seen lots of different posts about the upcoming road closures around Tarpots for the mains replacement works either side of the junction.

I have contacted Cadent to get the definitive Essex Highways approved info from them directly:

25th July - 15th August (Phase 4) - 24/7 works

↔️🚫A13 BETWEEN SADLERS FARM AND THE EASTERN END OF THE TARPOTS SHOPPING PARADE (OUTSIDE 127 LONDON ROAD) WILL BE CLOSED TO THROUGH TRAFFIC. ACCESS TO PROPERTIES WILL BE MAINTAINED.

↕️🟢HIGH ROAD - RUSHBOTTOM LANE OPEN FOR THROUGH TRAFFIC VIA TARPOTS JUNCTION. NO TURNING ONTO THE A13 IN EITHER DIRECTION

🔄 SADLERS FARM ROUNDABOUT WILL BE OPEN AND ACCESS MAINTAINED ON ALL OTHER EXITS EXCEPT A13 EASTBOUND

↙️↗️ THE ONLY ACCESSES TO THE WIDER ROAD NETWORK WEST AND NORTH OF THE BOROUGH WILL BE VIA THE A127 AT RAYELIGH WEIR AND A130 AT WATERSIDE FARM

‼️DELAYS EXPECTED FOR ALL JOURNEYS INTO AND OUT OF CASTLE POINT, AS WELL AS MANY LOCAL JOURNEYS AROUND THE BOROUGH SO PLEASE PLAN AHEAD‼️

I am meeting with Cadent on Friday morning to get a further briefing from them in person. I have no direct power over local highways matters as the MP, but I understand local Essex County Councillors who do are also meeting with Cadent in the next few days.

Cadent inform me they will also be holding an information stall at Tarpots on Friday afternoon:

📅 Date: Friday 10 July 2026
🕒 Time: 3:00pm to 6:00pm
📍 Location: The junction of Rushbottom Lane and London Road A13, Benfleet, SS7 5UG.

If residents have questions they would like to put to Cadent but cannot make the event, then please email me them or write them under this post and I will put them to Cadent and do what I can to get them answered ASAP.

Our kids being interviewed about their fab experience with at Aquatics GB swimming championships 🙌😊

19/04/2026

As some of you may be aware Aquatics GB swimming championships have taken place at the LAC 14th-19th April.

On Saturday some of our swimmers had the pleasure of attending an IM masterclass.

The swimmers swam for 1.5 hours, coached by: Anna Hopkin, Lauren Cox, Elliot Clogg and Will Bell, Kevin Pickard was also poolside. Then they had the chance to see what goes on before important races, behind the scenes.

Followed by a question and answer session for parents and swimmers with Lauren Cox and para Olympic swimmer Iona Winnifrith (she won silver in Paris at only age 13yrs old!).

CISC swimmers ticket covered going to watch the heats before the class then and then watching the finals. A great experience for our swimmers and enjoyed by all who attended.
