Suffolk Free Press, Newmarket Journal & Haverhill Echo Powered by Bury Free Press, Suffolk Free Press, Newmarket Journal and Haverhill Echo Home   Bury St Edmunds   Sport   Article Bury Town went some way to righting the wrongs of 12 months ago with tonight's 4-0 victory over Waltham Abbey in the semi-finals of the Isthmian League North Division play-offs Prior to kick off at the Getaway Cars Stadium, assistant manager Paul Musgrove had encouraged the Blues to use the disappointment of last season's defeat at the same stage to Brentwood Town as motivation for this evening's encounter And it was very much a case of message received as Bury booked their place in Saturday's final for which they will have home advantage after Brightlingsea Regent won 3-1 at fellow Suffolk side Felixstowe & Walton United it was perhaps not surprising that the first half played out in such cagey fashion The majority of Bury's best moments early on came from crosses There was 10 minutes on the clock when Taylor Parr headed Mikey Davis' right-wing corner into the hands of Bradley Robinson who also held on to Lewis O'Malley's glancing effort six minutes later At the other end Charlie Beckwith was largely unworked until the 35th minute when he was left flailing at thin air It was Waltham's leading goalscorer Prince Domafriyie that unleashed a swerving effort from 30 yards that got the better of Bury's number one And that looked like being the last significant piece of action of the opening period until the 45th minute when Bury broke the deadlock It started with the half's best passage of football involving the likes of Ethan Mayhew The move eventually broke down inside the Waltham box but with the away side's defence somewhat hesitant to clear their lines Ollie Canfer pounced to fire in from close range who had done the league double over Bury this season came out for the second half on the front foot They forced a couple of early corners and from one of those Edwin Mensah's goalbound header in the 53rd minute was cleared by Bury skipper Josh Curry That proved to be one of the game’s crucial moments because 60 seconds later the hosts extended their advantage Ryan Jolland sent in a cross from the right which was met by Davis who lashed an emphatic left footed shot beyond Robinson Goal number three arrived in the 61st minute O'Malley was first to try his luck from an inswinging corner and when the ball broke loose a determined Parr was on hand to force the ball home from six yards out It could have got even better for Bury three minutes later through another of their defensive unit This time it was skipper Curry that glanced a low header no more than a yard off target from Ed Upson's deep inswinging free-kick For a period after that it was all about game management Waltham had plenty of the possession but Bury remained resolute And they were rewarded with a fourth goal 10 minutes from time Upson did well to keep the ball alive at the back post with a back-heel that found Maughn It appeared that the chance had gone when the midfielder opted against shooting with his left foot but he managed to squeeze the ball through for Canfer who made no mistake to double his tally for the night That was Canfer’s last involvement and his replacement – Tommy Stagg – had a good opportunity within seconds of entering the field but his low shot from 12 yards out was thwarted by Robinson Reform UK’s Dame Andrea Jenkyns has been elected the first-ever Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire The declaration of the result came through at 6:48AM and was made at Grimsby her

Cracknell Portfolio Holder for Children and Education By 2025-03-21T23:01:00+00:00 The US owners of the proposed Sunset Waltham Cross Studios project near London are now exploring other uses for the site according to the local council for the Hertfordshire town where the £700m development was to have been built.  A statement posted on the Borough of Broxbourne web site on March 17 says that Hudson Pacific Properties and Blackstone partners in the joint venture behind the project have “informed the Council that they are exploring alternative uses for the site.”  The statement quotes the joint venture partners saying they “share [the Council’s] disappointment that a studio development is no longer feasible at this time given market conditions We are determined to work with the Council to secure the best possible alternative use for the site to support economic prosperity for the local community.”  A Hudson Pacific Properties representative in the US had not responded to a request for comment at press time.  First announced in 2021 Sunset Waltham Cross Studios was to have been a 1.2m square foot facility with 21 sound stages as well as offices The project had been billed as contributing £300m a year to the local economy and creating 4,500 jobs.  Development of the site was paused in 2023 as film and TV production levels declined with the end of the peak TV boom and the Hollywood actors and writers strikes.  The development would have been the first expansion outside the US of Hudson’s Sunset Studios group which operates four studio sites in Los Angeles and recently began construction on Sunset Pier 94 Studios in New York City.  The Borough of Broxbourne statement says the site had been allocated as a “strategic employment site” and that the council “will now work closely with the owners to ensure that its future use is in line with that allocation.”  Council leader Mark Mills-Bishop is quoted in the statement saying “I am extremely disappointed to learn that the planned Sunset Studios facility will now not proceed It is my understanding that the market conditions are currently not favourable for new film studios across the UK The decision may well be taken out of my hands if a large unitary council replaces the Borough of Broxbourne as part of Local Government Reorganisation but I will do everything I can to ensure that future development on that site provides the best possible economic opportunities for the residents of Broxbourne.” Oscar winner proposing federal tax incentives ‘Ish’ and ‘Learning To Breathe Under Water’ will also feature

ii)                  Whether under EU derived rights the existence of a contract is a precondition of exercising any such right; iii)                Whether excluding the Claimants from ECHR rights amounts to a breach of Article 14 of the Convention the Claimants argued that the tribunal is required to read the Working Time Regulations 1998 and the EA 2010 to allow foster carers to assert rights to a paid holiday and complain under Part 5 of the EA 2010 about unlawful discrimination If EU law required no contract between the employer and worker for the worker to point to an EU right then without any changes caused by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU the tribunal must interpret domestic legislation in a way that is consistent with that right [188]  EJ Crosfill accepted that the approach in Uber would permit a tribunal to depart from written agreements that exclude the existence of a contract or to place contractual liability on a party that is not the true party to the contractual agreement [155] whilst Uber made it easier for the putative worker to push aside arrangements that appear to exclude the existence of a contract it does not dispense with the requirement for a contract altogether EJ Crosfill concluded that on domestic construction of status W v Essex remains the binding authority for the proposition that the Claimants do not work under a contract the ET would have found that foster carers were indeed workers [186]  EJ Crosfill stated that foster carers can only provide services to one fostering service at a time; they cannot market their services; are unable to negotiate remuneration rates to a significant degree and work under the control of the fostering service Therefore the local authorities are neither their clients nor their customers EJ Crosfill would have concluded that the Claimants are workers under domestic legislation and Section 83 EA 2010 [185-186] EJ Crosfill applied the cases of Rowlands v City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council and NUFPC in stating that they remain binding authorities for the proposition that working pursuant to a contract is a precondition for claims under Part 5 of the EA 2010 [232.2].   In asking whether the Claimants were workers for the purposes of the WTD 2003 he applied the CJEU case of Constanţa and determined that the Claimants would have been regarded as workers under WTD 2003 [227] he held that the ‘24/7/365 nature’ of foster carers’ work meant it was incompatible with the rest regime set out in the WTD 2003 [238] It is for states to ensure there is sufficient protection for health and safety where rights under the WTD 2003 are excluded [239] he held that reliance on EU law did not assist the Claimants in respect of their claims under WTR 1998 or the EA 2010 but agreed with the Claimants in many respects [273] The ET remained bound by the conclusion that W v Essex barred the Claimants from bringing claims under Part 5 of the EA 2010 or any other claims where domestic legislation requires a contract as a precondition to access this right [197] EJ Crosfill still held that as long as the Claimants are unable to bring themselves within Part 5 of the EA 2010 a foster carer could complain of discrimination under Section 29 of the EA 2010 [251] EJ Crosfill found that it was possible under human rights law to construe protections for foster carers in respect of whistleblowing under Article 10 [283] and discrimination claims under Article 8 [299] but not minimum wage or working time regulations protections In considering proportionality in respect of whistleblowing EJ Crosfill found that extending rights to whistleblowing and discrimination protection was more likely to benefit children and was not satisfied the State had shown sufficient justification for excluding foster carers from such rights finding a breach of Claimants’ rights under Articles 10 and 8 respectively [380; 385] This judgment will have considerable implications on the rights and protections afforded to foster carers going forward with the judgment indicating that the current lack of protection in respect of whistleblowing and discrimination to be in breach of Convention rights this judgment could be a key step in changing the nature of foster care rights and improving their status as workers You can read the judgment here Blog written by Cloisters’ Charlotte Tosti 020 7827 4000 clerks@cloisters.com Elm Court, Temple, London, EC4Y 7AA Home | Barristers | Contact Us Complaints | Policies | Standard Terms | FAQ | Links © Cloisters 2022 | Regulated by the Bar Standards Board Licensing, Local Government The First Tier Tribunal (FTT) may only review its decision to resolve a matter arising from the grounds of appeal and in cases involving financial penalties it may not invent a discount outwith the council’s policy Waltham Forest LBC (“the Council”) designated its area as subject to additional licensing Marble Properties (London) Ltd (“the Agent”) was the person managing and/or having control of the subject property The Council imposed upon the Agent a financial penalty of £12,000 and informed it that if it paid within 28 days the penalty would be further reduced to £9,000 The FTT concluded that the appropriate penalty upon application of the Council’s policy (“the Policy”) was £8,000 and that notwithstanding the Policy not making provision for the same the FTT reviewed its decision in a manner not foreshadowed by the application for permission to appeal; in particular it concluded that if it was wrong as to its application of the Policy that policy was “too rigid” and should be departed from The Upper Tribunal allowed the Council’s appeal It had not been entitled to invent a discount outwith the Policy: §54 It had not been entitled to review its decision for reasons extraneous to the grounds of appeal: §69 It had in any event wrongly concluded that the Policy was “too rigid”: §90 The FTT is not the appropriate forum in which to challenge policy: §§53 The penalty imposed by the Council was reinstated Read the full judgment here Riccardo Calzavara was instructed by Simon Kiely of Sharpe Pritchard LLP for Waltham Forest LBC Get alerts about our latest news & upcoming events Subscribe Cornerstone Barristers regulated by the Bar Standards Board.

of the BBC Essex Senior Cup Jordan Greenidge’s first-half opener was cancelled out by Nathan Koranteng’s powerful strike from the edge of the box Kalvin Kalala’s 15-minute brace restored the Clarets’ lead and gave City a two-goal advantage heading into half-time A professional second half performance from Robbie Simpson’s side saw them maintain their two-goal lead although Turner and Kane Crichlow both squandered opportunities to further increase the scoreline City boss Simpson fielded a strong team at Capershotts on Tuesday night Paul Appiah and Osman Foyo kept their places in the starting eleven from Saturday’s defeat against Hampton & Richmond Turner and Kalala were all recalled into the matchday squad and starting XI for the Senior Cup quarter-final City started the game quickly and raced into a seventh-minute lead when Cambridge United loanee Glenn McConnell squared the ball to Greenidge in the penalty area Greenidge kept his composure from close range and clinically finished past Waltham Abbey goalkeeper Bradley Robinson Greenidge’s goal drew a quick response from the hosts won on the edge of the Clarets’ penalty box The winger produced a fierce first-time strike into the top corner of Ted Collins’ goal which left the goalkeeper no chance of making a save The flurry of early goals at Capershotts continued 180 seconds later when Kalala scored for City in the 14th minute The Frenchman displayed some nice skill while cutting inside from the left flank before having a shot at goal which took a deflection that helped the effort past Robinson Robinson produced an impressive save in the 18th minute to deny Foyo a goal tipping a powerful strike from the Ipswich Town loanee over the crossbar he was unable to prevent Kalala from completing his brace seven minutes before half-time The winger’s goal at the back post capped off a well-worked City passing move with McConnell playing the final pass of the move to set up Kalala and register his second assist of the game The Abbotts squandered the chance to halve City’s lead going into the break when former Claret Luke Deslandes fired a penalty over the crossbar Deslandes stepped forward from 12 yards out after referee Jack Willmored spotted a foul inside the penalty area during the hosts’ final attack of the half Deslandes was unable to keep his effort down and sent it out of the ground Simpson’s side produced a professional performance during the second half to see the game out and ensure their progress from the quarter-final tie Midfielders Alfie Bendle and Archie Tamplin both tested Robinson with shots on target but the Waltham Abbey keeper was equal to their efforts Turner and substitute Kane Crichlow were next to come close to scoring their side’s fourth goal of the night goalkeeper Robinson was once again equal to the Clarets’ efforts and made a good stop to deny Crichlow after he went through on goal one-on-one Heybridge Swifts and National League South rivals Hornchurch have both progressed to the semi-finals of the Essex Senior Cup alongside City although the final side in the draw is still undecided at the time of writing Kalala (Bland 79′); Greenidge (Hyde 73′)

Thirty new hospitals in the UK will be delivered in waves, with the most urgently needed built over the next three years, forming ‘wave zero’. Whipps Cross will be delivered as part of ‘wave two’. The final meeting of the current joint health overview and scrutiny committee (JHOSC), made up of councillors from Waltham Forest and Redbridge, was held last night (Thursday 1st). Representatives from the NHS said there would be “significant financial implications” for the existing hospital as a result of the latest delay to Whipps Cross. Nearly £100million has been invested in the hospital since 2015 to tackle backlogs and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations. Each scheme has a lifespan of around 15 years, which were then in line with the initial projects for the rebuild. Additionally, adjacent land cannot be freed up for 1,500 new homes – at a time when Waltham Forest and Redbridge councils are struggling with housing shortages. After a brief update from NHS officials, the committee was placed into dormancy for the foreseeable future. Campaigners from Action4Whipps, a local group, urged the committee to continue its scrutiny of the plans. They warned that without JHOSC’s oversight, services such as the Margaret Centre, which provides end-of-life care, could become “run down”. Additionally, the councils need to keep an eye on what Barts Health is doing “to make the crumbling Whipps Cross infrastructure safe and fit for purpose” over the next decade. Waltham Forest councillor Richard Sweden said it would be an “unjustifiable strain” on the council’s resources but the committee will reconvene if “the facts on the ground change”. As a final action by the committee, Cllr Sweden said he would write to the Department of Health over the “lack of clarity in the decision-making process” behind delaying the hospital. Thousands signed Waltham Forest Council’s ‘Whipps Won’t Wait’ petition after the hospital was damaged by flooding in 2021, and leader Grace Williams said in January they would be “frustrated after years of delays and disappointment”. She said a new Whipps Cross Hospital was her “greatest priority” and “cannot wait any longer”.
