These articles have been written when the mood has taken me. They will be changed occasionally and I will be including articles or information which I consider important. For good or ill they will tell the reader as much about me as much that has been written elsewhere in this website
Article 1 This is the budget speech given by Cllr. Nigel Holdcroft on the 25th February 2010 and is essential reading for those who wish to know exactly what is happening on Southend Council.
Article 2 This is a letter to a resident who was concerned about a number of issues. Anyone wishing to know my views on the most important local topics will find them here.
Article 3 After an introduction by me, I have set out the full agreement between Rochford and Southend Councils and the airport company, Stobart. This is quite long but for those who wish to know what is really happening at the airport it is essential reading.
Article 4 This is an article which not only discusses the economic case for as expansion of the airport but also discusses briefly what would happen on the site if the airport ceases to exist for whatever reason. The latter point is never discussed in the press or elsewhere - possibly because the speculation is too disturbing.
Article 5 This is an article on the redistribution of power from local government to central government and the effect this has had on ordinary people who are increasingly rendered powerless. It argues that this has also damaged the freedom of the press by making it less successful commercially .
Article 6 "Why am I a Conservative?" outlines the development of my political beliefs and tries to set them in a historical context whilst raising the importance of political philosophy in everything done by local and national government. To read this article use hyperlink
