Two public toilets at East Beach and
Campfield Road were set to close
under the Independent Party, Labour
and Lib Dem Administration.
Following a campaign led by local
Conservatives with the support of
West Shoebury residents, these
proposals were dropped.
An alternative budget was put
forward by Southend Conservatives
which would have seen Council Tax
frozen and saved 11 litter bins in
Shoeburyness from being axed.
This Administration, as part of their
budget proposals, wanted to axe the
textiles collection service. Following
Conservative pressure, a collection
service has been retained where
residents can still use any surplus
white sacks they have or put textiles
in carrier bags for collection.
Car parking charges have risen on
average by 11%. The Administration
wanted to raise car parking charges
at Shoebury Common by 20%.
Following pressure by local
Conservatives this plan was
scrapped.
Many residents have complained
that the parking situation around
Shoeburyness High School has got
worse. Local Conservatives have
launched a questionnaire with local
residents to see what parking
measures they would like to try and
solve the problem.

proposed 20% increase in parking charges

comes out of the review then it will receive our full support .
Although there is a need for new homes we will fight to ensure
unsuitable plans for new homes and developments are opposed.
Our weekly waste collection service is under threat we will oppose
any plans to change the weekly collection service.
11 litter bins have been axed in Shoeburyness we will continue to
oppose the removal of any litter bins in Shoeburyness.

Right: Public Toilets Under Threat The Administration proposed closing two public
toilets in Shoeburyness. This proposal was
dropped following pressure from local
Conservatives but the Leader has not ruled out
closing them in the future. A Conservative
Council will keep our public toilets open.
Right: Cuts To Council Services The administration have scrapped white textile
recycling sacks, axed our waste contractor Cory,
taken over 1 Million out of the waste budget
and as part of the budget, made 5 Envirocrime
Team officers who investigate fly tipping and
issue on the spot fines for dog fouling
redundant.
Above: Car Parking
Charges Up Despite claiming that high
parking charges hit local
businesses, parking charges
have been raised on average
by 11% and by 20% in the
Town Centre. A Conservative
Administration will freeze car
parking charges and pledge
to reduce them where
possible.
Left: Council Tax
Increased The Administration have raised
Council Tax by 1.95%.
Conservatives would have
frozen Council Tax by taking
the Government Council Tax
freeze grant.
Left: 11 Litter Bins To Be
Axed in Shoebury This administration plans to
remove 11 litter bins in
residential areas. Some
Administration members
suggested removing even
more.
Above: 25% Of Kids To
Go To A Failing School After 95,000 was taken out
of the School Improvement
budget, this Administration
plan to make it acceptable for
a quarter of our children to go
to a poor or failing school.
The Independent/Labour/Lib Dem plan for Southend
The Independent Party, Labour and Lib Dem plan, supported by
UKIP, is one of wasteful spending, more borrowing, higher taxes and
charges. The Conservative way is one of delivering high quality value
for money services that Southend can be proud of. This is the choice
at this election.
Cuts to Services, higher taxes and charges
Remember: UKIP voted for these cuts
