Big news: Greater Essex is getting a brand-new Mayor in May 2026 — and this is your chance to help shape what they stand for.
This Mayor will have real power over the things that actually affect your day-to-day life: housing, local transport, education, jobs — the stuff that really matters.
That’s why we’re teaming up with Citizens Essex to hear directly from you. What should the next Mayor focus on? What’s not working right now? What needs to change?
Come along to Square 3 share what’s important to you, and help us build a future that actually reflects the needs of Essex and Colchester.
