Essex County Council is to spend £500,000 on funding a new group to tackle fears about public safety following issues highlighted by the death of Sarah Everard, it was announced yesterday evening (Thursday, 1 April).

A Metropolitan Police officer has been charged with the murder of Sarah Everard following her disappearance while walking home across Clapham Common last month. The outcry over the tragedy has highlighted public fears over safety, particularly that of women.

The Chief Constable of Essex Police has told the public "let's not to mess this up now" over the Easter weekend as people from different households get together again - many in the county for the first time since early December.

His comments come after restrictions were eased on Monday (29 March), allowing people to mix outdoors, including in private gardens, in groups of six or as two households.

The chapel of St Peter at Bradwell is built on the gatehouse of the Roman fort of Othona (or Ithancaster) by the Saxon Bishop Cedd in around 654 AD. Clearly this accounts for the "on the Wall" name, but it also recalls the fact that Othona was part of an Eastward-facing "wall" of shore fortifications as elaborate as Hadrian's Wall in the north.
