I was interested in a bit of wisdom that I saw written on the Gazette's forum last week. A comment was made that Lord Hanningfield was anti-Colchester. This was answered with a statement that Colchester is anti-Colchester. Sadly, isn't this a fairly true statement of fact? Why is it that Williams and Griffin turned on their Christmas lights last week, the town centre turned on it lights this week and...

I am a bit behind with my blog-posting, so I thought I would let you know what occurred last Friday. It was quite a hectic day, starting off with a visit to the Construction Training Partnership in Burnt Mill. As you know, this is a great organisation that I have visited on a number of occasions. CTP does a huge amount to provide youngsters with vocational training - and a chance to join the ladder...

Conservative plans to slash benefits to needy people in Cornwall show they are the same 'nasty party' that neglected Cornwall for 18 years, and completely ignorant about the county says Labour PPC Jude Robinson. A senior Conservative spokesman has admitted that the Conservatives are considering singling out Cornwall for benefit cuts. According to Lord Hanningfield, who is leader of Essex County Council...

Castle Point Parliamentary Candidate, Julian Ware-Lane, was flabbergasted when he heard what the leader of Essex County Council, Lord Hanningfield, had said about Canvey's tourist aspirations. Julian explained: "Lord Hanningfield's recent comments that Canvey Island should abandon its ambitions to be a tourist resort are offensive, they are also very wrong. "People should be proud of their...
