The veteran Echo reporter Geoff Percival writes here on the district elections:

IN contrast to Southend, Rochford District Council elections are a very docile affair.

  • I hope that all readers of this site will vote for candidates who if elected would represent everyone in thier ward regardless of age,gender,race,religion or sexual orientation.

    I am sure that any Lib Dem candidate would fit this criteria. Some of the other alternatives to the current Conservative stronghold would not.
