01
End Council Waste
Reform UK will make Chelmsford City Council work for the people who pay for it. We will challenge bad contracts, publish where the money goes and stop your council tax being spent on things residents never asked for.
Our Plan
A plan built for Chelmsford — city and villages alike.
Chelmsford City Council collects and spends your money. These are the six commitments Reform UK Chelmsford will hold it to, in the chamber and on the doorstep.
02
Put Frontline Services First
More of your money into the services you actually see — bin collections, street cleaning, parks and pavements across the city and the rural wards alike.
03
Keep Council Tax Under Control
The City Council's Band D charge went up again for 2026/27. We will oppose above-inflation rises and demand savings are found in back-office spending first, not in services.
04
Back Chelmsford's High Street
Lower costs for local businesses, fairer town centre and village parking, and real action with Essex Police on shoplifting and anti-social behaviour in the city centre.
05
Stop Overdevelopment
Chelmsford has absorbed enormous housebuilding at Beaulieu Park, Channels and beyond. We will defend village boundaries, green wedges and the character of Danbury, Writtle, Boreham, Great Baddow and the Hanningfields.
06
Defend Local Democracy
Chelmsford City Council is set to be abolished in 2028 under local government reorganisation. Residents deserve a real say in what replaces it — not a deal stitched up between County Hall and Whitehall.
