Labour’s plans to cancel next year’s elections in Essex are nothing short of outrageous.
Elections were due to take place for the first Mayor of Greater Essex, alongside the creation of a new combined authority. Instead, this desperate and self-serving Labour Government is playing fast and loose with local democracy, creating chaos for our councils and disrupting the work they do for local people.
Cancelling elections is Labour’s latest disgraceful attempt to undermine democracy and silence the British public.
Labour hate Essex.
