Proud to have written this motion calling for a tree to be planted for every birth registered at Southend Council. Trees are a celebration of life, let's make that symbolism literal with this motion. I have also been asked by a local charity to include those you are sadly

I'd like to point out that Gabriel statement neither says mental health or mentions his desire to move closer to his family. I fear there is an element of people be disingenuous here. Oh well, at least it had nothing to do with anonyvoter scandal. Best of luck Gabriel.

Absolutely amazing to hear Kier Starmer admit on live TV that Labour will put up taxes. Anybody thinking about Labour had better start saving as it will cost you & every family over £2,000 to have a Labour government. And that’s when they want your vote! #ITVDebate

Labours response to the change in truck movements is baffling They were happy for 85000 trucks to go past schools and peoples homes roads that wouldn't cope But they are unhappy about 40,000 trucks going through a dual carriageway designed to take this type of traffic.🤔

This is a perfectly realistic request as thr infrastructure already exists and no homes were proposed to be built on the land where the relief road would remain. As such regeneration occurs and the traffic flows It's win/win

Strange spin We haven't really had much opportunity to focus on our ideas as we've spent a year fixing the problems Labours 'ideas' got us into. We've been getting Southend back on track, whilst Labour want to crash it again with shoot from the hip 'ideas', cowboy politics

As Tony knows, the reason why finance is the biggest risk for Southend Council (as every councils) is because of 14 years of local government underfunding by Tory govt. His administration is out of ideas. He's reduced to throwing rocks at those who do.

@CllrDent Southend needs a minor injuries unit away from Southend hospital to alleviate the stresses placed on our A and E. All other solutions are merely sticky plasters. Shoebury health Centre could be the solution here. But we need all partners including @SouthendCityC to step up.

The riots and violence on the streets seen across the country from here in Southend to the streets of Southport, London and Sunderland have no place in our society. Time for Labour to stop talking, really action is needed at the root of the problems.

@AnnaliesePage @BuckCllr @CllrDent @thejazzcentreuk @BeecroftGallery @Southend_Tories @SouthendLabour There is no financial implications to the budget to this decision. Making the decision by the previous administration even more baffling.

With the news that @SouthendAirport is up for sale and with space available for a @Tesla factory with train station just next door. Perhaps @elonmusk would prefer to spend his money here in #Southend and not on buying Man U. Just saying...

Now Cllr Cowan is gaslighting me as well as the city. Cllr Cowan mentioned 1 figure of £400k that he believes isn't achievable, leader gave assurance it'll be reviewed. No other items did Cllr Cowan mention were unachievable.

I, and others, systematically went through the budget, repeatedly asking “how” to the Tories’ fantasy figures. Given how badly their numbers don’t add up, it doesn’t surprise me that they can’t count past one.

Clacton has a clear choice 1) a 1 issue man, who has achieved it and is desperate to remain relevant 2) a hard working constituency MP, who cares deeply for his constituents wellbeing in @GilesWatling I know which I'd prefer. #VoteConservative #VoteWatling

@VIRTUAL_TRIS Hi Tris Business isn't about going big first time. Often it is about going small with a side gig which grows slowly and surely to become something big. A lot of myths are had around business, but the fact is that business os about failure and adaption, patience and a bit of
