I've been giving some thought to the local elections and have a suggestion.

The best looked after, most desirable part of Southend is Thorpe Bay.

The people there have made their money and know what they are doing. So don't vote for a party - vote for whoever lives in Thorpe Bay!

My old grandad used to say if they can look after themselves, then they are good enough to look after us.
