"Very impressed" was the view of County Cllr David Kendall after attending a scrutiny meeting to demonstrate planning and procedures that are now in place to deal with any major incident in the County. He said: "Essex has more major accident hazard sites than any other county in the Eastern region so it is was very important that councillors not only review this issue but have a clear understanding of how everything operates should a major incident ever occur." "I was very impressed with professionalism and expertise shown by all those that took part in this review."

The UK’s asylum system is failing, leaving people fleeing conflict stuck in temporary housing, unable to work, and separated from their loved ones. Our new policy gives practical solutions to clear up the broken system left by the Conservatives.
The Online Safety Act was meant to protect people, yet its flawed implementation risks undermining privacy, free expression, and secure communication. Our new policy addresses our concerns and fights for a digital future where rights are protected.
