@PippaCrerar And also in Essex, these disgraceful words from Southend’s @Conservatives Candidate @Gavin_Haran. Plus an apology in case we misconstrued him.
@Anna_Firth@Conservatives@Southend_Tories Unlike 2000 residents, @Anna_Firth values the work of LTC Conservatives SO much she seems to have asked one to appear in her promotional video…. But as a voter that Anna’s happened to bump into that morning! Brilliant.
Will it be @cllrarscott next?
Just your daily reminder that over 2000 residents signed a petition that they’ve repeatedly asked to talk to @anna_Firth about but, nope, she wouldn’t even meet.
#disappointing
@owencartey@Anna_Firth@Southend_Tories Glad you’ve got time for an ice cream @owencartey@Anna_Firth
Shame you don’t have time for the ward and city residents that you represent.
Five weeks ago, you PROMISED us you’d get answers about the LTC email debacle.
It’s a five minute job… but we’ve heard nothing.

We’re surprised you have the audacity to post this after the omnishambles at LTC last night.
@BernardArscott#tapegate voted in for another term as Chair & Finance Chair by Conservative Councillors who themselves haven't received even one public vote.
@cllrtonycox
So, the chaos on Monday night was because the Leader doesn’t want any opposition to his Administration.
Apparently, we are aggressive at scrutiny meetings that haven’t taken place.
This isn’t the behaviour a Leader should be displaying.
@cllrtonycox, this is nothing compared to Leigh Town Council whose incompetence you supported from the Chamber.
You should be too ashamed to voice sour grapes like these.
@Southend_Tories@Anna_Firth
The Coalition of Chaos is back minutes after taking charge. 13 minutes before the start a motion was put forward so that they could scrutinise themselves - in effect mark their own homework.
Then they dithered and decided to delay & blamed others. Sheer incompetence.
Surprise!! @BernardArscott now voted in as Finance Chair… supported by other uncontested Conservative Councillors.
So now he’s Chair of the Council,Chair of Finance and Proper Officer.
Does that sound acceptable to you??
@Anna_Firth@Southend_Tories@Essex_Echo
Packed room of concerned residents at last night’s ATM. And a complete failure of Councillor Arscott’s & his 11 Councillors to turn up, answer questions or even apologise for their absence.
#resign@BernardArscott@owencartey@Anna_Firth@southend _tories
The THIRD time LTC Chair has wasted police time this year 😢
Just wish Cllr Arscott and his dwindling band of supporters would show the police and our beautiful town more respect 💔
I think the tories on Leigh-on-Sea Town Council are attempting to be the first council to have an entire issue of Private Eye dedicated them
Total shambles
If you thought The Happy Mondays @SouthendTheatre were dire last night…. They’re nothing compared to the arrogance and incompetence of Leigh Town Council 💔
#saveltc@Southend_Tories
Brilliant - We can’t get answers from LTC councillors @BernardArscott@Craigwatt1962 to sensible questions about staffing, meetings, minutes and finance but they’re happy to hunt down & comment on a 26 year old article 🤦♀️
#resign@Southend_Tories#SaveLTC
You can’t make this up….
The over-60s events at LTC have been a disaster since the Conservative council suspended staff. Instead of a heartfelt thank you, the Dep. Chair, Cllr McCurdy, reduced one of the volunteers to tears 💔 It’s getting worse in Leigh 💔

And the LTC award for BEST April Fool gag goes to LTC Councillor @Craigwatt1962
In February 22, he starts a petition to abolish LTC.
In May 23, he stood uncontested and was elected as a councillor. Then wanted a 600% increase in expenses.
Brilliant 👏
