Local Election Hustings 2026

The Making Care Fair team arranged for 2 hustings meetings to take place in April 2026:

For SE Essex Wards:
1pm to 3pm on Monday 27th April 2026
at Brock's Corner Cafe, Badgers Den, Rochford, SS4 1PX

​

For Southend City Wards:
3pm to 5pm Thursday 30th April 2026
at Highlands Methodist Church, Sunderland Boulevard, Leigh-on-Sea, SS9 3PT

We invited each local party that has candedates standing to put up a candedate to represent them at each of the hustings - and for this to be someone who is able to answer questions from the LDA, Neurodivergent and SEND communities about issues that affect them.

Thank you to everyone that joined us for these hustings meetings and for the excellent question you put to the candedates so that you could hear what the local political parties have to say on LDA, neurodivergent and SEND issues in Southend, Castle Point and Rochford.

Recordings are availale on our Facebook and Youtube sites.
