TODAY’S Nostalgia spread takes us back just one year to when Storm Ciara battered the north Essex coast. It was on the second weekend in February when the country’s worst storm in years wreaked havoc on our transport and power systems, leaving a trail of destruction after hurricane-force winds of up to 80mph hit the county. Stormy seas, high winds and torrential rain saw countless ferries, trains and flights cancelled and there were various issues here in Colchester and Tendring.

THE installation of a £1million bridge which has proved controversial but will provide easier access between two caravan parks has now been completed. Park Holidays UK has put in place a 40-metre-long overpass across a watercourse in Jaywick, connecting the St Osyth Holiday Park and Martello Holiday Park. The 7.35-metre-wide bridge, which was hoisted into place in two sections, boasts both a road carriageway for vehicles and a walkway for pedestrians. Work on the huge civil engineering project began in October last year and has been led by Essex construction specialists S&M Contractors from Braintree. Previously, residents and day-trippers would have to embark on a 20-minute drive in order to travel from one park to the other, despite them being only yards apart.
