About
This site is for anyone who is looking for informed, balanced and up-to-date reporting on local politics. We report on Southend Borough Council, as well as our MPs and MEPs.
We believe that politics, on a local, regional and national scale, is important to every day life in Southend, and that engagement in the political process is essential. This site was set up to provide detailed, specialist and real-time reporting and other helpful information to assist that engagement.
Contributions, leads, feedback and questions are all welcome. Just post a comment and we’ll get back to you.
On the whole I think you have a good site and balanced content. I will be keeping an eye on it as one of my sources of local news. Keep up the good work.

Hi .
We’ve given you a mention at http://onlinefocus.org/?p=2544
Very glad to see this site up and running. I worked for Southend Council for years and saw some seriously unpleasant practices – by councillors and senior management. SBC’s cash and staff were definately for their personal gain, not the community’s. I saw first hand (and was indeed involved with) some of the appauling demands the councillors made in their own interest – and every one of them was met. Nasty, nasty stuff.
