POLITICAL colours don’t really come to the fore in the committees at Thurrock Council. If you sat in on the Licensing Committee or Planning Committee you would be hard pressed to distinguish the Tories from Labour from Independent. However, the three Tories who sit on Health and Well-Being Committee have been noted for their relentless pressure on the health services.
Councillor Wendy Herd has become quite a thorn in the side of Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital; Councillor Amanda Arnold has the whole brief at the fingertips. They are also ably supported by Councillor James Halden.
YourThurrock spoke to James about his role on the committee and what issues he sees as key in 2010 and 2011.
