Central branch AGM

Last week saw the annual general meeting of the Central branch. This clashed to some extent with the Holocaust Day Memorial Service, and so I missed the first half of the meeting.

Central branch covers four wards in Southend-on-Sea: Kursaal, Milton, Victoria, St Luke's.

This branch therefore has seven councillors, yet I think it should have all twelve. Certainly that is what we are working towards.

Whilst there is talk of a reorganisation in the Rochford and Southend East Labour Party, until (and if) such time as the branch changes we continue with the set-up as is, and elect officers to run it. The discussion that was had on reorganisation was inconclusive, which suggests that the status quo is likely to maintain for the time being anyway.
