Owen Cartey tells us “What a wonderful morning yesterday hosted by Project Southchurch with members of all communities in the South East Essex area coming together to celebrate the values that join us in the face of adversity.
The Southend community has been challenged in recent weeks to an undeserving degree and it is so uplifting to meet all of those groups that have done so much for Southend as well as Essex as a whole. Being part of this project, representing Castle Point Conservative Association, and committing to the positive, people-first vision that would serve us all better. Is an absolute honour.
What’s more, I have to say a big thank you to Rob and of course my Grandad for hosting such a brilliant event. I’ve seen how hard they’ve worked with their team over the last few years to build up Project Southchurch. But standing in that room with all those community groups, local faith leaders, representatives from all political parties and schools etc… you get a feel for just how hopeful we can be for the future.”
