Switchover is coming and help is at hand

Digital switchover is coming to our village soon, and if you don’t convert your TV to digital by the time of the switchover, you won’t be able to watch any TV programmes. 

Whether you are a resident of Great Waltham, thinking of visiting or looking for a nice place to live, we hope you find something of interest and value here.
The Parish of Great Waltham is one of the largest in Essex in area,  covering approximately 2,488 hectares (6,147 acres), but with only 2,100 residents is not densely populated.  It consists of two villages - Great Waltham (also known as Church End), and Ford End, and four hamlets –  Howe Street, Littley Green, North End and Broads Green.  The parish is approximately 5km north to south, 3km west to east and at its most southerly is 7km from Chelmsford.
  
The major activity is agriculture although it employs very few people these days.  The majority of local workers commute to towns up to 40 miles away and to London.  The M11, the A12, the A130, the A131, the A120, Stansted Airport and Chelmsford station are not far away.

Great Waltham Village Design Statement (VDS)

North End Village Design Statement (VDS)
Great Waltham Parish Plan  (Includes North End).  Parish Plan projects were initiated by the Government and encouraged through County Councils, as part of the nationwide drive to devolve decision-making to local levels, where appropriate.  Great Waltham Parish Council sponsored this Parish Plan; it being fundamental that the local Community should produce the document, using local consultation to identify the ideas and issues of concern to the residents of the Parish.  Like most community projects, the preparation of the Parish Plan depended upon local volunteers.  (This large file might take up to 30 seconds to download). 

One of the key sources of information used in producing this plan was the Village Design Statement above
