It didn’t surprise me when Karl Manning, head of residential sales at Savills Chelmsford, told me that sales in Essex in the first quarter of this year were up 167 per cent compared with last year.
Combine this with a lack of available properties, then add countless Londoners who are clamouring for houses to the mix and it’s easy to see why the roads and schools out in the east are slowly filling up.
Almost £1million will be invested to help improve the east and west Suffolk Eating Disorder Service following a huge rise in referrals heightened by the Covid pandemic.
At Wednesday s Child our referral rates are up 100% on this time last year, and the breadth of person we are assisting couldn t be more diverse. We are currently helping a solicitor who has secret bulimia and a nurse who has been working on the frontline, with her exhaustion triggering the return of an eating disorder she had at 14.
Miss Watson said it feels like the floodgates have opened and people are coming forward, but they need to be seen quicker.
She said: It is devastating as the number of people with eating disorders is rising, but it does mean people are reaching out for help and are open to having a conversation despite the stigma attached.
