I&#8217;ve had a few hours kip, and unfortunately Julie Cushion came second in Blenheim Park.</p>
<p>Thank you to all 624 people who voted for Julie and the Conservatives in Blenheim. Rest assured that it is business as normal and the service I have given to residents of Blenheim over the past year will continue and the good work undertaken by Blenheim Conservatives will continue.</p>
<p>In the past couple of weeks we have enforced verge parking where residents have wanted it &#8211; with signs and the spy car  (yes note I said RESIDENTS wanted it) and had two new bins installed along Prittle Brook.</p>

<p>On a Southend-wide basis it wasn&#8217;t the best night for the Conservatives, however we will continue to work for what we believe to be best for the town.</p>
<p>Next surgery &#8211; tomorrow 10:30am!</p>
