Shine a light on your council

Alerting local decision-makers being hoodwinked by central government

- RACHEL MATTHEWS

DARKNESS is always vanquished by light, and here in Colchester we’ve been putting our council in the spotlight.

A group of us have been attending and speaking at the council meetings for just over a year. Bit by bit, we shine a light on the unlawful and incorrect assertions that have been passed down to them by central government.

We are lucky with the councillors we have in Colchester. Whilst we disagree with a lot of what they say and do, it's apparent that the majority are good people trying their best. But how can good people make good decisions if they don't get good information? They can't. So that's been our mission educating them so they can.
