Thank you to @ColchesterTuc for an excellent #HolocaustMemorialDay event. Lead to so much discussion about lack of Holocaust education for some people. Appears so hit and miss. Where did you learn about it? I was taught at school but many didn't. Surely this is wrong?

Since he was elected in 2010 @willquince has voted for 11 Government budgets -in total they have resulted in a 60% cut in local government funding. Yet here he is expressing concern when the council cuts vital public services like libraries 🤦🏾‍♂️ #austerityhurts #saveourlibraries

My letter to the Leader of Essex County Council regarding the current consultation to close Prettygate library asking that the Council recognises the importance of the library to our local community and takes an entrepreneurial approach instead of resorting to closure.
