The previous operator for Billericay Post Office resigned and the shop shut on Saturday. Fears were first raised about the loss of the central post office in Billericay earlier this year, with councillors and residents campaigning to keep the service available. Anthony Bailey, Post Office area change manager, said: “We are delighted to have relocated Billericay Post Office to maintain service as we know how important a Post Office is to a community. The branch’s opening hours make it convenient for customers to visit.” The Post Office will continue to operate as a main style office, offering a range of options and 54 hours of service a week. Cards and stationery will also be sold in the new post office. The new location will be open Monday to Saturday 9am to 6pm with a closure on -

I am getting/seeing lots of questions about moderators - here is how it works: 1. You can become a moderator by creating a loop*. 2. A member of a loop can make you a moderator. 3. You cannot make yourself a moderator of a loop that you belong to. 4. Scooploop can make you a moderator of a loop where the moderator is absent*. The way a loop works is decided by the moderator. If a moderator is no longer around, then you may be unable to post or join. * Not possible at the moment due to the absence of staff. -

You have to add your area code to your local contacts. Things they don't tell you: I have just been digitally switched by BT! A man arrived from Morrisons - he had no food, just digital bits. They will leave your box that you plug your phone in to on the wall and install a new box; so ask him to remove the old box and put the new one in it's place, otherwise you will be left with holes in the wall. The surprising thing is that your phone may not work until the next day! It will have a line on it, and your number can be rung, but it does not ring. We now have two cables going to the house, presumably, when and if Open Reach visit, they will remove the copper cable, and collect the bits of their old master socket. I've had the task of removing old phone cables and cable clips. -

I.T. Non-Techie help, information and tips Email/Computer problem - Posted on behalf of @Selsey (Edited)Still having problems on desktop I can see emails and go into them for a little while. Then if I click on something, just get the turning circle at the top so can't access. Sometimes says 'Not connecting, try again in -- secs but that doesn't work. Currently spending more time pulling out plug and waiting - when it's OK again for a while - than doing anything else. Any suggestions, please - thanks. -

If you want to keep your data, you’ll need to move it to a new platform before 31st October. From 31st October, the service will close, and all information will be deleted. From 9th September, the BT Cloud platform became a “read-only” service, this means you won’t be able to upload anything new, but you’ll still be able to view and download the data you have in there already.

There's a hidden corridor once used to take prisoners from the court cells to and from the old police station Shire Hall in Chelmsford is one of the city's most prominent buildings and it has an incredibly rich history. The Grade II listed building closed in 2012 and thousands have been spent to maintain it. It opened in 1791, just under 30 years after the Essex Chronicle was first printed, and served as a County Court for over 220 years until its closure when courts relocated to New Street. The Georgian building was designed by John Johnson and has plenty of historical features. They include a hidden corridor that was used to take prisoners from the court cells to and from the old police station was across the road. In 1856 one person was killed and five seriously injured when a crowd surged into the building to attend a trial of five men charged with murder while poaching and a staircase collapsed. Shire Hall was also used as a home for some Essex County Council meetings between 1889 and 1938. Shire Hall is currently no longer in public use but has been used by various production companies as a set for TV. The listed building was used as a court building for ITV's Mr Bates vs The Post Office as well as The Jury: Murder Trial on Channel 4. Since the start of 2023, Essex County Council has received more than £100,000 income for Shire Hall's use as a filming location. In 2021 there were plans to change the building to include retail, restaurant, drinking establishment, office and 'function room' spaces. The plans were put forward by Aquila, the company behind the Bond Street development, but refused by the council. By Matt Lee Senior Multimedia Journalist - Essex Live -
