Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street: April 2015
http://nigel-holdcroft.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street. This is the blog of Nigel Holdcroft former leader of Southend Council. Monday, 20 April 2015. Saturday was one of those days when the sporting gods were smiling. This was followed by news of an essential away win for the Baggies at Crystal Palace which represents a further massive step to retaining their premiership status next year. Friday, 17 April 2015. I attach a photograph showing the new divide. I am now intrigued to discover if they only intend to resur...

Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street: Council Members allowances
http://nigel-holdcroft.blogspot.com/2015/07/council-members-allowances.html
Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street. This is the blog of Nigel Holdcroft former leader of Southend Council. Monday, 27 July 2015. I see that at the last council meeting the Administration rejected the recommendations of the Independent Panel tasked with proposing any changes to member allowances on the basis that it would be inappropriate to approve increases at a time when council staff are receiving such small wage increases. For those on the council who believe that an increase is either unfai...

Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street: Capital Budget slippage
http://nigel-holdcroft.blogspot.com/2015/07/capital-budget-slippage.html
Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street. This is the blog of Nigel Holdcroft former leader of Southend Council. Tuesday, 28 July 2015. It appears under Cllr Woodley and his colleagues the Council is slipping back to its bad old ways. 17% slippage between late February and the end of the financial year is hardly impressive and the slippage against the opening year balance was closer to 40%. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Nigel Holdcroft was a Southend Councillor for 14 years and Council Leader fo...

Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street: September 2014

Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street. This is the blog of Nigel Holdcroft former leader of Southend Council. Thursday, 25 September 2014. A bad week for Labour. If it is intended to bash the rich then why this arbitrary and ineffective approach? It is interesting that even senior Labour members are starting to show their dissatisfaction with the leadership on these matters and I struggle to believe that even Labour rank and file see Mr Miliband as a credible PM in waiting. Friday, 19 September 2014.

Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street: UKIP - now you see them - now you don't.
http://nigel-holdcroft.blogspot.com/2015/05/ukip-now-you-see-them-now-you-dont.html
Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street. This is the blog of Nigel Holdcroft former leader of Southend Council. Friday, 15 May 2015. UKIP - now you see them - now you don't. I have raised before the issue of the legitimacy of any new Rainbow Alliance which may be formed under the continued leadership of Independent Party member Ron Woodley, but if the rumours are correct then the new team would not look out of place in the pages of an Orwell novel or Private Eye. It reminds me of the famous scene fro...

Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street: May 2015
http://nigel-holdcroft.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street. This is the blog of Nigel Holdcroft former leader of Southend Council. Sunday, 17 May 2015. I was interested to read a recent blog item by Conservative Councillor Tony Cox after his successful fight back on to the council following his unexpected loss last year. Tony is a capable and dedicated councillor and the Council and Tory Group are stronger for his return. So I know just how awkward Tony is feeling at the moment. Whilst on the subject of election result...

Nigel Holdcroft – a view from Nelson Street. This is the blog of Nigel Holdcroft former leader of Southend Council. Monday, 27 July 2015. Nelson Street - home for a nice yellow bollard! I have previously blogged on the rather extended saga of the resurfacing of Nelson Street which did not give great credit to the Council but did eventually result in an improved road and pavement surface for this picturesque and historically significant road. The following photograph shows the finished job. Nigel Holdcrof...
