The unadulterated views of James Courtenay Deputy Leader of Southend Council 
Please vote for James – he is such a hard working, honest person. Blenheim would be lucky to have him as their Councillor.
Please don’t vote for James, vote for Tony Borton!
Anyway, when are you going to write something on policy?
I spent over 2 hours discussing it with local residents today – as you can see by the photographs about to be published here.
Issues discussed:
Airport,
Potholes,
Green Belt,
Parking
Just to name a few.
Later this afternoon I distributed a leaflet explaining to residents how I would conduct myself, should they elect me.
Let’s hear something from the Labour group about what they would do if they we running the administration – or are we going to hear more and more of this “No, don’t do that, don’t cut that. Don’t take funding from x,y,z. No we don’t like your budget”. Oh okay, well what would you do then? We are still waiting for an answer…
You are more than welcome to peruse my blog to find out what I believe in – http://warelane.wordpress.com/ – I do not believe I am shy in expressing myself.
The local Labour Party will be launching its manifesto shortly.
