Any ideas why the Conservative ECC may have cancelled elections this month and voted themselves a 3 year extension without a public mandate?

Brook Farm Planning Appeal Update: Gov inspector sided with developers, overturning Castle Point Council's refusal. Council believes inspector erred & is launching a High Court challenge to defend our community's stance. We're exploring every option.

Fascinating how political survival trumps personal conviction. When cllrs prioritise staying in power over adhering to their stated beliefs it raises questions about the integrity of the political process What does it say about our system when manoeuvring takes precedence over real representation?

PIP can announce that CPBC has presented a balanced budget for 3rd year running. A result of hard work, careful planning, & a dedication to serving our community. We’re also freezing rent increases for residents in social housing, providing much needed stability and security in challenging times.

Disgusting! 😡 Labour & Tories have just postponed the May Essex County Council elections, stealing our chance to hold them accountable. They claim it's necessary, but in reality we see it as a cowardly power grab. #ElectionPostponed #DemocracyUndermined #HoldThemAccountable

The Tories & Labour are at it again! 🤔 This time it's a coordinated effort to postpone local elections so they can play around with unitary authorities in peace! They fear scrutiny. We won't let them undermine our democracy! Demand your vote!

Moving from a 2-tier to a unitary local government system may seem efficient, but it risks losing local representation, diluting community voices, and centralising power. Let’s ensure decisions stay close to the people they impact. #LocalDemocracy #CommunityMatters

Thank CIIP Cllrs Blackwell & May for voting against the cancellation of the May 25 Essex County Council election. Sadly the controlling Conservatives saw fit to press on with their attack democracy. We urge anyone who still believes in democracy to sign this petition:
