THE Conservatives hold a two seat majority on Thurrock Council following the declaration of the 16 seats contested in the local elections, held yesterday (Thursday, 4 May).
THE results of Thurrock Council’s elections have been announced.
Elections took place in 16 of the borough’s 20 wards yesterday (Thursday, 4 May).

OVER the years, there has been a solid three Labour councillors but this was interrupted by Qaisar Abbas who won by 157 votes. He may have changed parties (from Labour to Tory) but he is a force of nature when it comes to campaigning .

ANOTHER fascinating ward. For a start, there is a Green Party candidate. Over at our sister paper, YourHarlow, there is a full slate of eleven Green candidates. We wish Jack well.
THIS will be the real test of how unpopular the Tories are. This will be the test to see if people are willing to return the councillor who was portfolio holder for finance when Thurrock Council's financial world collapsed.
