Background
Since the last election in 2011 , 3 councillors for the Canvey Island Independent Party , Joan Liddiard, Anne and Brian Wood, formed their own Canvey Independent Group, after Brian Wood had been expelled from the party in November 2011. [3] Anne and Brian Wood stood at the 2012 election as independent candidates, along with 13 candidates each from the Conservative and Labour parties, 5 from the Canvey Island Independent Party and 2 from the Green party . [4] [5]
One Conservative councillor, Enid Isaacs of Victoria ward , stood down at the election. [4]
Election result
The Conservatives retained a 9-seat majority on the council after holding all of the seats they had been defending. [6] The closest they came to losing a seat was in St Mary's ward where they held on with a majority of 63 votes over Labour, which meant Labour failed to win any seats at the election. [4] [5] Meanwhile, the Canvey Island Independent Party regained seats in both Canvey East and Canvey South defeating independents Anne and Brian Wood. [4]
