Thurrock's Election Hustings very latest - updated
 Updated (evening 19.4.10) news of next week's hustings in Stanford and Grays as the 2010 General Election campaign enters its second week.
Thurrock Constituency
Rev Darren Barlow has invited each of the five candidates to the hustings at 8pm on Wednesday 21 April at Grays Parish Church.
All 5 local candidates are now appearing at the husting:
- Carys Davis (Liberal Democrats)
- Jackie Doyle-Price (Conservative)
- Carl Morris (Labour)
- Clive Broad (United Kingdom Independence Party)
- Emma Colgate (British National Party)
WE NEED A STRONG CHRISTIAN PRESENCE AT THIS EVENT AND PRAYER BACK-UP. Please make every effort to come and if you can't, please pray. There will be a uniformed police presence at the event.
The hustings for the Thurrock constituency will be chaired by Rev Steve Williams of West Horndon (the parish has a couple of fields and an airdrome in Thurrock!). We would like to thank Steve for offering his services - he's a good friend of the borough and a regular GLP attender. Steve's knowledge of the political landscape goes hand-in-hand with his position as the Thames Gateway Officer for the Bradwell Episcopal Area, Diocese of Chelmsford.
ONE DAY LEFT TO SUBMIT QUESTIONS! If you'd like to submit a question to be asked at the hustings, please contact Darren Barlow on revbarlow@talktalk.net or Tim Harrold on tim@transformationthurrock.com by Tuesday 20 April. Thank you.

From Russell Godward (TCF)
Hi everyone
We are hosting an Election Forum next Tuesday evening at St Margaret’s Church, Stanford-le-Hope 7.30 – 9.00pm.
This will be a good evening, and one where we both get to hear from prospective local MP’s and Councilors, but to also address them, influence them and pray for them. If you’re one of those people who does not quite ‘get’ politics, or is disinterested, I think this might be a good opportunity for you to gain some insights and understanding of how things work, and begin to use your Godly influence!
I hope you’ll be able to join us, but if not you can still submit questions to be asked on the night. Simply follow the link below and ask away! It would be beneficial to have a number of questions from Christians in the area, and we’ll have representatives from all the main parties taking part.
To date the Parliamentary candidates joining us are:
- Angela Smith (Labour)
- Stephen Metcalfe (Conservative)
- Geoff Williams – (Liberal Democrats)
These will be joined by Local Council Candidates:
- Phillip Anderson (Conservative - Corr Town & SLH East)
- James Halden (Conservative - Homesteads)
- Phil Smith (Labour - Corringham Town & SLH East)
Thanks and God bless,
Russell
To submit questions, please do so via the Thurrock Christian Fellowship website.
