Wivenhoe Times: getting started

Just a note to get this blog started. I am interested in this community in which I have lived for almost four decades. It is a hive of activity with a multitude of voluntary organisations working for the good of the people who live here. We do have problems too: our population has increased three and a half times over since 1st April, 1974 and we face the prospect of significant growth to the north across the A133/A134. I shall be commenting on these and other matters in the weeks and months ahead.
