The Chequers pub in Billericay are NOT hosting this event. We were misinformed and apologise. They have contacted us and made it clear they were previously ambushed by Farage & crew and were not happy about it. We are very happy to correct this publicly and once again apologise that we posted the incorrect venue.

Despite what the Essex Conservatives are trying to spin, the County of Essex is not being abolished. It’s existed since the 6th century and it’s not going anywhere, so there’s no need for panic.

Essex County Council, however — run by, unsurprisingly, the Conservatives — is being replaced. And frankly, it’s overdue. The aim is to stop the ongoing haemorrhaging of taxpayers’ money, bring real accountability back into local government, and finally put an end to the allegations of corruption that have dogged ECC for far too long.

This isn’t the end of the County of Essex. It’s the end of a failing council structure. And if it delivers transparency, efficiency, and better value for residents, then that’s a win for all of us.

Here is how the new council structure will look from 2027

When Essex University’s Southend campus opened, it was a message of hope for a ‘left behind’ UK seaside town. Its closure will be felt far beyond its 800 students, some of whom will not get their degrees

Vastly overspending public money without any checks and balances? Have the Australian government been getting tips from Essex County Council?

Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt has asked the weather agency's new boss to examine how the website's cost and redesign went so wrong.

We're pleased to announce that we've been given the green light to expand our terrestrial broadcast area, and that you can now hear us from DAB from Southend to Stratford as well as 98.0FM in Brentwood and Billericay.

We're still based in Brentwood but our presenters can now reach THREE MILLION people instead of 200,000!
