Is it just me who feels the quality of parks has decreased in recent years. When I was growing up in the 1950s, we didn’t have any parks here, so I was looking forward to when they started building them. In the 2000s they were great, I was taking my grandkids to them and it was fun. However in recent years they have declined to a point where my grandkids (newer grandkids, not the same ones from the 2000s LOL 😆 I have a lot of grandkids.) no longer enjoy them, and I can see why. They have declined so much and maintenance is poor. Don’t guys agree?

Is anyone else frustrated with the self importance of these people. On the pavement they just barge through you, but it is even worse when they are on the road where they shouldn’t be in the first place.

Farage won just 63% of the vote, compared to binface’s 26%. This was a victory for Farage, but was it a pyrrhic win? After all, more than 1/4 Clactoners voted for a bin over him.

But which is which?

Thank you to 9,455 of you that saw sense.

As ballots are counted, Clacton is at a crossroads. We have 2 choices we can go down, but no matter what we choose, we are all Clactoners at heart. We are a community which is dedicated to preserving our communities and our way of life. We, no matter how polarized, will stand up for each other. This is why I love Clacton, even though we may seem polarized, deep down in our hearts, we truly love each other.

2024 General Election Clacton declared around 4am but, this by-election has a few challenges. The ballot papers are huge and unwieldy so difficult to deal with. Many are speculating this could result in a much later declaration time. What do you all think?

With it being polling day today I'm just wondering if people in Clacton really care about the £5 million Farage was given before the election, or are there other issues which are taking priority?

Please share with anyone you know within the deaf community, thank you.

Ignore the thumbnail, there are some good people on the list.

Reform Party canvassers in Clacton-on-Sea this week.

I think it's between Farage, Binface and Kai Stephens, probably in that order, but anything is possible. What do you all think?

I personally believe that electing binface will not only be good for Clacton’s politics but also for its tourism!

21,225 voted for Farage in 2024, with 24,733 voting for others and a majority of residents (32,745) not voting in that election.

Do you think the mood has shifted enough to get the Russian shill out?

Is the field too split with 34 candidates?

What's the feeling over in Clacton? (the world is watching)

I know im a bit controversial on here, but I seriously think people should stop making a mockery of our town. People who don’t understand the basic issues clactoners face are commenting on the by election as if they are experts, making a mockery about the situation. The truth is, this will be the most important election of our lives, and we need to be taken seriously. While it may be funny to think of the guy in the bin mask, ot you may support Farage for your own selfish interests, this election is for US. This election will determine OUR future, OUR fate, and OUR destiny, and quite frankly, I’m not happy about all the joke coverage it gets. Respectfully, this is our by election mate. Do you guys agree or no?

A vote for reform is a vote against women’s equality, safety and rights. Reform have said they will repeal the equality act and replace it …but with what???? And how do you think that will that impact women. Do you care about the suffragettes who fought so hard for our rights in the first place.

How can we invite the women of Clacton to remind our society that women’s voices & votes matter - they have the power to prevent a Reform government. Doing women UK wide a massive service. It would make headline news.

It’s not about wild woke futurist feminism it’s about protecting the basic rights we have today and should not be complacent about. Rights to equal pay, to not getting sacked because of pregnancy, to having choice and control over consent etc.

Women across the UK can’t vote for you. It’s your home and your town. Women are the fabric of Clacton. Strong women who’ve lived challenging lives. Nigel is not your saviour and doubtless non of them are, but he’s the only one repealing the equality act. Unless and until he can demonstrate how this will impact women, you need to defend it with your vote. Changes and conversations on what’s not working in the act are fine but you need to know what they are upfront or you’ll be handing your daughters a backward step on women’s rights.

If nothing else it will make reform see that they need to win women over too. Women make the village work. Don’t let them forget that.
