Thanks John for posting. Also to everyone who has checked a garage or shed. We are halfway there as Dusty (Black and White) came home this morning. Possibly released from where ever she was stuck. Just need Boomer now, so fingers crossed he will be spotted or come home too.
And after 10 nights away ... Boomer came home. All safe and well. Thank you to all who kept a look out.

📣 Volunteers - We need you!
Home-Start Essex is looking for volunteers to provide support to families who may need a bit of extra help.
Can you spare a few hours a week? ⌚️
Would you like to help your local community? 🤝
Starting 20 May is our new online prep training course and we are actively seeking volunteers within the UTTLESFORD area to support this initiative. If you are looking for a volunteering opportunity and would like to make a difference to the lives of children and families then please get in touch! You do not need to be a parent to volunteer, any experience of working, volunteering or involvement with children would be most welcome!
Recent studies have highlighted the enormous benefits for the individual. When you volunteer, your ties to the community improve, so does your own support network and mental health. So while you are generously helping others, you are also helping yourself. Volunteering allows you to support your community, make friends for life, gain new skills and experience and can even help us to live longer...wow! 😍
Volunteering will not only change families lives, it will change yours...

Cemetery composting area.
Sadly, the Cemetery composting area will shortly be fenced off for the time being.
This is due to improper use of the area in which, amongst other things, rubbish, dog poo bags (used), 18 wired wreaths, plastic pots and plastic flowers have been put in there. That is not the idea of the area and most of these items will not compost.
What makes it sadder is that there is a black bin and notice right next to the composting area. ... See MoreSee Less

This morning a lorry described as a green lorry with "Animal Feeds" written on it mounted the verge on Radwinter Road and took out not only the verge but someone's steps.
If anyone has any information on who this lorry may be operated by (or saw the incident) please could you let us know by private message so that we can pass on to the resident.
Thankfully no one was stood on or near the steps at the time. ... See MoreSee Less

From Monday 29th March Covid-19 self-test kits will be available for collection at 21 libraries across Essex, making testing even more accessible and convenient.
Residents, who do NOT have Covid-19 symptoms, will be able to collect and take away two boxes of seven tests, to undertake regular twice weekly testing at home to help prevent the spread of the virus.
The self-test kits are simple to use and offer quick results.
Dr Mike Gogarty, Director of Public Health, said: “I cannot emphasise enough how important it is that as lockdown eases people remain vigilant, observe hands, face and space and get tested to make sure we reduce asymptomatic infections as much as possible.
“It is also important that people use the testing channel most appropriate for them to ensure that people we need to get tested can have access to the tests they need.
“We are particularly keen to test people who cannot work from home, and are encouraging residents to take a test before seeing relatives or loved ones outside of their lockdown bubble.
“It is also vital that people upload their results as directed in the test instructions, and that people self-isolate as per the government guidance if their result is positive”.
Essex County Council has received an initial stock of 199,000 tests to start the scheme and further tests, and potentially more libraries will be available as more tests become available from the government.
Anyone in a bubble or household with children aged 0 – 18 should continue to choose the online direct option to get their tests delivered to their home. More details can be found here.
Anyone who is already receiving a regular supply of self-test kits from another source should continue with their existing route to help increase the availability of testing for people not currently covered by other national testing schemes.

We have also had trouble with this cat coming in all the time even in the middle of the night spraying eating our cats food. We have now locked our cat flap but because it’s upset our cats so much and now we have trouble with our own cats who have started to mark their territory and rip up the carpet. So if we can sort something out this would be marvellous. We live on Radwinter Rd.
I've occasionally seen this cat over the last couple of years in the small field next to me at Goldstones Cottage and opposite the Vales. Very timid, always keeps 20 metres or so away if it doesn't run off. Not sure if that helps at all.
Toe Beans Cat Rescue are local they'll know what to do?
Looks like a Tom to me. From the face shape etc. I'd catch and take to vets for a scan. If not chipped local charities will neuter if needed. And release. Or rehome if not wild.
Just as an update: Unfortunately, this cat was found dead last week. It was hit by a car on the Radwinter Road.
Toe Beans Cat Rescue we can help catch and scan for a microchip. If he's domestic, we will put a paper collar on asking the owner to contact us 07436285029. If he turns out to be a stray, we will try to locate his owner using social media, contacting vets, registering on lost and found websites and putting up posters locally. If he turns out to be feral we will get him any urgent medical treatment required and either return him (if wanted back) or place him in a new home.
