During the 1950's and 1960's Canvey Island was a lovely place to live; clean and safe.

Where has all of that gone?

Well it seemed to have started when we joined the main land. I still find Canvey Island a nice place to live and I love it and that is exactly why I am so passionate about giving Canvey what it rightfully deserves. A cleaner, safer and greener place to live with a group of dedicated councillors to help shape Canvey Island into the way you, the residents, want it to be.

I am certain we can achieve this goal if we all work together. Canvey for Canvey my friends!

All the best

Party Leader

 

Having already decided that none of the national parties were offering anything other than words and self interest, I was immediately drawn to a basic idea of local people making decisions for themselves.  There would be no outside interference from a party headquarters that pushes 'one size fits all' policies or only thinks of winning the next general election and pandering to it's supporters and donors above all else.

 

Seven years on and nothing has really altered at national level, apart from lots of leadership changes, just to obtain power.

 

Canvey Island is a lovely place to live and being an island it retains a community spirit. A lot of things we are proud of were created and paid for by Islanders, e.g. Waterside Sports Centre, the Paddocks Community Centre, and our open spaces. These and more are worth fighting for, to keep and enhance, not sell off or build on.

 

We are your Party, and we need not only your vote at election time, but your help and opinions throughout the rest of the year.

 

This is important to us and we need you to get involved. Come to our general meetings or your ward meetings or just leave a message on this site. Join us and help keep Canvey a great place to live for everyone.
