ONE of the bright young things that illustrates that local politics in Thurrock may be in very good hands indeed. The Smith/Gerrish/Holloway trio will be a very combative team in their huge ward and will no doubt serve the residents well. Purfleet really needs ambassadors and so we wish her well.

Well done to Ben Gadsby who ran a great, self contained campaign.
