Four Braintree councillors elected as Independents, have now decided they’d rather be Conservatives.

It’s a useful reminder that in the end, when you vote for an ‘Independent’, you may not know which direction they’ll take. Vote Labour and there’s no mystery about what you’re voting for – Labour councillors with Labour values.

The Labour Group is now the official opposition to the Tories on Braintree District Council. 🌹

The deal between Britain and France is already having an impact: 185 potential crossings involving 4,300 migrants this summer have been intercepted. The total number of people making the crossing this year is the lowest since 2021.

The Home Office credits France with intercepting hundreds of potential crossings this summer using new tactics.

Another success story from our Labour councillors!

A block of flats in Braintree was left without hot water intermittently for months, causing understandable frustration for residents.

We are pleased to report that the issue has now been permanently resolved and affected residents will receive compensation.

Thank you to everyone who raised concerns and helped keep attention on the issue until a solution was delivered.
