The Choice

Two ways to run Chelmsford City Council.

The Liberal Democrat administration holds 31 of the 57 seats. Here is how our approach differs from theirs.

Reform UK Chelmsford

Cut waste. Control council tax.
Scrutinise every line of the budget and resist above-inflation rises.
Put Chelmsford residents first.
Decisions made for the city and the rural wards, not for party managers.
Safer streets.
Press Essex Police and the council for visible action on anti-social behaviour.
Protect our green spaces.
Defend village boundaries, green wedges and the river valleys.
A real say on reorganisation.
No new authority imposed on Chelmsford without consulting residents.

Another council tax rise.
The City Council's Band D charge rose again for 2026/27.
Fifteen years of the same faces.
A comfortable majority with little challenge in the chamber.
Development first.
Huge growth targets waved through across the city fringe.
Decisions made for you.
Consultation after the decision has already been taken.
Quiet on reorganisation.
Little clarity for residents on what replaces the council in 2028.
