EAST Tilbury has a rich history of Independent councillors. For many years, Barry Palmer and John Purkiss represented the ward and they were very popular. There wasn’t a council meeting that went by when either John or Barry (or possibly both) would stand up and protect the interests of East Tilbury.
In so many ways, that torch has been passed to Fraser Massey, who has done a wonderful job as in Independent since he was was elected by a majority of 784 in 2019.
Now, there is another Independent candidate in Neil Speight.
Mr Speight stood as a UKIP candidate in 2016 and was often in talks with the Tories for a seat.
The councillor defending the seat is former UKIP, former Thurrock Independent councillor Sue Sammons (Conservative).
Her main rival is newspaper editor, Neil Speight, who is standing as an independent.
Mr Speight once stood as a Ukip candidate.
Hope you are all keeping up!
East Tilbury has a long tradition of Independent candidates. For years, John Purkiss and Barry Palmer dominated the local political scene.
The other East Tilbury councillor is Fraser Massey, who as an Independent, seems to have been passed the baton of independence.
In her election material, Cllr Sammons has taken a swipe at Mr Speight.
Mr Speight responded to Cllr Sammons comments on his Facebook page.
Warm tributes as Thurrock war veteran Albert England passes away
THE death in the early hours of Sunday morning has been announced of one of Thurrock’s most respected war veterans – the much-loved and admired Albert England reports Thurrock Nub News.
Albert, 95, died in Basildon & Thurrock Hospital, and sadly, because of Covid, his wife Wyn was not able to be with him – a sad end to a loving partnership that produced four sons and a multitude of grandchildren, great grandchildren and even a great-great grandchild Albie – a fitting name synonymous with his heroic great, great grandfather!
Albert’s death was not Covid connected.
