This is the budget speech given by Cllr.

reading for those who wish to know exactly what is happening on
Southend Council. |

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. |

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

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

This is an article on

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 . |
