From the Echo:
Canvey Island’s county councillor Brian Wood has joined the UK Independence Party.
Mr Wood, currently an independent councillor representing the Canvey Island East Division, will now stand for re-election in May 2013 under the UKIP banner…..
It will be interesting to see how much of an effort UKIP make in Rayleigh and Rochford at next year’s County Council elections…. and whether they can strike a deal with the English Democrats….
