EVERYONE recognises that the late councillor, Andy Smith has left a considerable legacy in Thurrock politics. Not least of which is as a canny campaigner.
Labour candidate for West Thurrock and South Stifford, Terry Brookes clearly relishes the challenge of a by-election and looks like he learned a lot from losing to UKIP in Ockendon in May.
The words UKIP loom large in the interview. With UKIP councillors in Belhus, Aveley, Ockendon and Stifford, this ward looks ripe for the taking.
