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.

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.
