I have this morning written to the Leader of Basildon Council asking him to clarify remarks made by the Basildon Labour Party Facebook account. The comments appear to suggest that Basildon Labour paid for holiday flights on behalf of a former independent/UKIP Councillor, who formed part of a previous Labour administration. Such an arrangement would naturally lead to questions about influence and inducement, and I asked the Leader to set the record straight. | Cllr Andy Barnes

My speech on the Basildon Local Plan Consultation to Full Council last night. It’s clear to me that we need development to meet the needs of the next generation, but 30k homes across Basildon, Billericay and Wickford is plainly excessive. Areas like ours are being asked to make up the shortfall for London, where the Mayor has failed to build anything like a suitable number of new homes. Residents will have a chance to have their say on the plan in the coming weeks. * the slightly odd edit at 2 m

This is a section of my speech to Basildon Council last night. In this part I am calling out the lies Basildon Labour and the BIINO’s (Basildon Independents in Name Only) have told to try and convince people their choice to cancel local elections is justified. In the end I was one of only two Councillors allowed to make a speech before the meeting was deliberately cut short but the administration without a vote. Cowards | Cllr Andy Barnes

My speech to Thursday’s Basildon Full Council meeting regarding the appointment of a fifth monitoring officer since Labour came to power in 2024. There have been serious concerns about governance at Basildon Council for some time, and the monitoring officer is tasked with ensuring Councillors act lawfully at all times. Basildon Councillors must do better for the residents we represent. Recent conduct from some Councillors has been appalling, and the new appointee must ensure this doesn’t happen

Basildon Labour can’t be trusted with local democracy. After telling the public for months they didn’t want to cancel local elections in 2026, they changed their mind and are now begging the Government to delay the public’s judgement on their administration. Labour can’t hide from the electorate forever. We can’t be denied our vote again. | Cllr Andy Barnes

Another update on the ongoing saga of local election cancellation. Yesterday was a busy day, with Basildon Council firstly caving into our demands for a Full Council meeting on 29th January so that all councillors can vote on the decision to suspend local elections. A few hours after that, we got the news that the Secretary of State has decided to grant election delays to those authorities that have asked - including Basildon. However, they still have the legal challenge in February to get past,

Last night I emailed the Labour Leader of Basildon Council asking him why he won’t debate the decision to cancel the 2026 Local Elections. All I’m asking for is five minutes for each opposition group leader to make their case. What are they scared of? Why will they only allow questions with no right to reply? Could it be that they know their arguments will fall apart under the slightest scrutiny? A link to the petition to stop the cancellation of local elections is in the comments. The cabinet m

Basildon Labour don’t want to talk about them cancelling the local elections in 2026. They want to use the excuse of Local Government Reorganisation, which will abolish Basildon Council and merge it with others. We have been told time and again that we wouldn’t be liable for Thurrock’s debt mountain, but this promise has now been broken, with the Government confirming that successor authorities will be liable for that money. I support LGR, but Labours mad plan would lumber our residents with hug

Tonight, Basildon residents were betrayed by the people who are supposed to represent them. In disgraceful scenes, they used an obscure constitutional clause to end the debate without a vote.

It’s becoming increasingly clear the Basildon Labour intend to write to the Secretary of State to ask for the local elections in 2026 to be postponed. Whatever your politics, this is an affront to democracy. There is no good reason why these elections cannot be held as scheduled. We need to show the Basildon Council administration the strength of feeling about this, and one way to achieve that is by signing our petition, calling on the Leader of Basildon Council to withdraw their request to dela

An update on the scandal of Basildon Labours election theft. The Basildon Conservatives have today submitted the paperwork to hold an Extraordinary Full Council Meeting on or before 7th January 2026. If the Administration in Basildon are going to away residents right to vote, then that decision should be subject to a proper debate, and the Councillors responsible should have to vote publicly so residents can see who wants to block democracy. Our petition against this now has thousands of signatu

Tonight 8 Basildon Labour Councillors will cancel local elections for tens of thousands of residents. They will do so without a proper debate of the Council. Basildon will be one of only two authorities in Essex to seek to cancel its elections, and the only one to do so without a Full Council Meeting. The Council announced last night that for the first time ever, any member of the public attending the meeting will need to bring ID with them. If you can, come along. If you can’t, you can watch th

This is the extraordinary moment Basildon Council’s Auditor finds that the Council acted unlawfully when it purchased commercial property in 2020. The Labour administration borrowed to fund the purchase, a practice which has been found to breach the rules in the Auditors legal opinion. Given the amount of commercial property that has been acquired by Basildon Council since Labour returned to office in 2024, serious questions must now be asked about the legality of these deals.

Basildon Labour are lying to you. They are claiming they aren’t responsible for cancelling our local elections - they are as the only way they’ll be scrapped is if they request it. They are claiming the cancellation is due to Local Government Reorganisation but that’s just an excuse - all other Essex councils are proceeding with their elections, with the exception of Thurrock. What do Thurrock and Basildon have in common? Both Labour controlled, and both almost certain not to be if the 2026 loca

This is the full interview I gave to the BBC following the cabinet meeting where 7 out of 42 Basildon Councillors made the decision to cancel the 2026 local elections. Anger against the authorities that have attempted to suspend local democracy is growing, and a national campaign has now been started to restore these elections. This Government loves a U turn.

I watched Labour Basildon Council leaders Facebook live last night so you don’t have to. You’ll be able to see his ‘arguments’ for stealing Basildon residents votes dismantled at Council tonight, but I did want to deal with this notion he is putting out that the decision to cancel is irreversible. It’s no more irreversible than any other Government decision, and we’ve seen plenty of those change in the past year. Don’t give up the fight.

After the news that the Labour led administration in Basildon is attempting to delay elections in 2026 I was looking back at when I spoke against the proposal to cancel the 2025 elections and change the electoral cycle. Here are some highlights. On that occasion I wasn’t successful, we can only hope that this time Councillors will listen to the people the represent. This was one of the first speeches I made after five years away from Basildon, and I know I’m not looking at the camera and speakin

This is my speech to cabinet on 8th January in full. Despite the clear support in the room and beyond, Basildon Labour Councillors took the decision to write to the Secretary of State asking them to cancel the May 2026 local elections. In addition, Labour have attacked opponents of their plans, calling them hatemongers then playing the victim as soon as they get push back.
