Three years ago, we pledged to prioritize four key areas for our residents and businesses:
- a robust, inclusive, and steady economy
- a high-quality environment
- a Health, wellbeing, and independence for all ages
- a nurturing environment for children and families
As we enter the final year of our administration and understand there is still more to do, we have been making good on our word.
- we've saved £800 million since 2012, ensuring stability for the future 💰
- our capital spending program is delivering major public assets, including the first railway station on the Great Eastern mainline in over a century 🏗️
- infrastructure remains a top priority, with 90% more potholes repaired last year compared to the previous year 🛣️
- no Essex libraries have been closed under this administration 📚
- we've increased funding for country parks and green spaces as part of our Climate Action Plan 🌳
- launching the Essex Care Technology Service has helped over 7,500 people live independently, reflecting our commitment to supporting the most vulnerable 💡
- we've created a £50 million cost-of-living program to alleviate financial burdens, funding summer clubs and hot meals for young people 💼

Keep up the great work!
