Here at Castle Point Active we are looking for a greener future by adding solar panels to our centre. By generating clean, renewable energy on site, we’re reducing our carbon footprint, lowering energy costs, and reinvesting those savings back into the facilities and services our community uses every day. Using solar power helps us operate more sustainably, support local environmental goals, and create a healthier space for everyone 🌍💚

The Essex County Council Election on the 7th May 2026 is not for the purpose of removing a Prime Minister, it is not about immigration policy, it not about international affairs or tax breaks for billionaires. It is a vote to decide who will be the councillors that represent Castle Point residents at County Hall in Chelmsford.

Please vote wisely. Please support your PIP candidates to be the strong voices representing our area.

ECC elections are on Thursday 7th May. We are entering the county elections with 3 candidates on the mainland, based on the feedback we have received from residents to represent them at county level following the great work we have done in Castle Point, including protecting the green belt.

If you like what we are doing, I say thank you.

If you can help us in the election that would be great!

Please contact me and we would be very grateful for any support.

With the Essex County Council elections coming up on May 7th, we’ll be out this Saturday speaking directly with residents about the issues that matter most to Castle Point.
This is your chance to:
✔ Ask questions about the upcoming County Council elections
✔ Share your concerns about roads, services, and local decisions
✔ Find out how PIP will stand up for Castle Point at County Hall

We believe in local people, local priorities, and local decisions — and that starts with listening.

Whether you want a quick chat or a longer conversation, we’d really welcome you stopping by.

No scripts. No party lines. Just honest conversations about our community.

Hello!

We have the Essex County Council elections in May (7th).

If you can spare any time to deliver leaflets, canvas, promoting an election sign, standing on election day at the polling station for an hour or two it would greatly appreciated. But, no problem if you cannot as your previous help is always appreciated and maybe next time as we know next year is even more important as we look at the new unitary authority following Local Government Reorganisation and ECC is merged with local councils.

Thanks in advance and please let me know if you can help.
