Remembrance Day in Southend-on-Sea

  • By Marlborough Highways

Marlborough Highways was proud to assist with Remembrance Day commemorations on the Essex coast on Sunday 13 November 2022. Our team played a crucial role in the organisation of parades that took place in Shoeburyness, Southend-on-Sea, and Leigh-on-Sea, with our expert operatives overseeing the traffic management of the events.

In support of Southend-on-Sea City Council, Marlborough arranged road closures, placed diversion signs, installed crowd barriers, raised flags, and set up seating areas and temporary stages for veterans and dignitaries. Careful planning took place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all those in attendance, with roads and pedestrian areas reopened quickly after proceedings.

Adam Tregoning JP is the Mayor’s Officer & Macebearer at Southend-on-Sea City Council, and a former Sergeant and Musician in the British Army. He said “please accept my sincerest thanks for all your hard work in ensuring the smooth running of the Remembrance Day Parade & Service. As always, your “can do” attitude makes life so much easier and for this I am extremely grateful. Please pass on my thanks to all the Marlborough Team”.

Marlborough has a long and proud history of supporting the Armed Forces community, celebrating the valuable contribution that they have made to our society and giving thanks for the service and sacrifice that they have made for others.

“One of the things I value most is their very collaborative and transparent team culture. It makes a big difference to have a contractor that wants to work closely with us and is supportive and responsive. With Marlborough, I get a team who are attentive, work collaboratively and honestly with me and don’t lose focus on delivering first class communications and compliance.”
Carly Norris, Project Manager Operations, Hackney Council
“From the design stage, Marlborough has been fundamental in delivering the Broad Lane Square improvements scheme. During the works, not only did the team manage to keep to the programme, but they went the extra mile to ensure attention to detail and came up with innovative solutions to address issues encountered on site. My thanks on behalf of Haringey goes out to Marlborough for their dedication to deliver.”
Dana Rasheed, Project Manager, Haringey Council
“Working alongside our Term Service Contractor Marlborough Highways, we successfully completed renovations to the Crowstone Footbridge. The designs were provided by Marlborough, and the work was unique. The scheme was completed to budget and ahead of its programme duration.”
Neil Handley, Senior Engineer, Southend-on-Sea City Council
“I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts, the Marlborough crews were professional, courteous, and hard working all day and ensured the event went without a hitch. You and the team were a credit to the company, demonstrating commitment and support to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.”
Nick Davies, Specialist Services Manager, Barking and Dagenham Council
“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Marlborough Highways over the last six months. The quality of work is superb, and there has been some excellent collaboration between Milestone and Marlborough to complete, what at times, has been quite a challenging scheme. I hope to work with Marlborough on another project in the near future.”
Colin Hill, Schemes Manager, Milestone Infrastructure
“Marlborough worked with us in constructing a 1.3km cycle track. There were a number of technical difficulties to overcome, and their gifted foreman worked to propose some innovative solutions to the challenges we faced. The result is a facility that the locals are proud of, providing walkers and cyclists with alternative access to the hospital and nearby school. The scheme was a lot of hard work, but well worth it.”
Rob Venables, NEC Project Manager, Essex County Council
“Marlborough attracts people who take care and have pride in their work. Several gangs of Operatives worked tirelessly for six months to reconstruct drainage networks, lay more than 3km of high quality bespoke granite kerbs and granite channels blocks to ensure positive drainage. The technical compliance, attention to detail and level of quality finish along the entire carriageway was exceptional”.
Mark Chiverrell, Technical Director, Project Centre
“We saw huge benefits in appointing Marlborough as our full service contractor and we’re impressed – they’ve delivered consistent high quality service and superior quality control across every project. Marlborough, provide us with a ‘one-stop’ shop solution – we get the same quality of service and better control across all aspects of the project.”
Darren Bryant, Principal Engineer, Enfield Council
