Two questions about this street in South Woodham Ferrers:
1. Do you pronounce it "Seleborn" or "Keleborn"?
2. If you say "Seleborn" does it mean you've had your appendix removed?

It's time to tell the Government what you think about the future of councils in Essex! 📢
Like most Essex councils, our preference is for five unitary councils. 🖐️
But this isn’t the only option being put forward. 🤔

Let's put Chelmsford first. 💜
Local people should have a strong voice in decisions that affect them. 🙋
There are 15 councils in Essex - but not for long. Soon, there will only be three, four or five.
We think five is best for the people of Chelmsford. 5️⃣

None taken! 😉 Glad you had a good time.
Didn't expect to be wowed by Chelmsford but have enjoyed the town trail this evening, learning about Marconi, ballbearings, Roman roads & 19thC feminist Anne Knight.

Should Essex have 3 or 5 councils in future? 🧐
We're backing a proposal for 5 new councils that would see Chelmsford joining up with Maldon and Brentwood.
Others want 3 councils, where Chelmsford would be grouped together with Maldon, Brentwood, Harlow and Epping.

Big changes are coming to local government. In 3 years’ time, the 15 councils in Essex will be replaced by a smaller number of unitary councils.
We're working on options, and we can’t make important decisions about the future without you.
Please complete our survey. It'll only take a jiffy. ☕🍰
