Statement to voters
Dear Fellow St George's Residents
The evidence of neglect in Castle Point is stark. Driving and cycling on crater ridden roads, footpaths with dangerous trip hazards, failure to maintain Council buildings - and lights off after midnight, with 68 due to be permanently left off - without consultation! Yet our Tory Council is sitting on £6Million in Reserves?? LabourStart 1998 Local Plan protected our Greenbelt for decades but the Tories have made a costly shambles of its replacement. One withdrawn draft included building on Glebelands Greenbelt! That wont help us if, as seems likely, Central Government loses patience and takes over. My Tory opponent lives on Canvey and the other candidate lives in Hadleigh. We need a strong LOCAL Labour voice on Castle Point Council so I seek your support and vote on the 3rd May.
