Further to our recent post regarding the by-election that was called following the sad passing of Cllr. Ian Grundy, it’s pleasing to be able to report that Sue Dobson has been elected to represent the residents of Stock Division at Essex Council.

Even if it’s only for five months!

Once again, this by-election was really unnceccessary, called by Reform UK before Ian Grundy’s funeral had taken place.

Having worked with Sue Dobson at Chelmsford City Council, we’re confident that Sue will work hard to represent the residents of Stock Division.

In other news, as they say, Gillian Bennett was elected to serve the residents of South Hanningfield, Stock and Margaretting Ward at Chelmsford City Council until the next election, scheduled for 2027.
