Election Officials at Belhus Ward do not appear to be rushed off their feat today. The South Ockendon Youth Centre plays host to a polling station. No queues not even party workers checking poll cards, no solitary special constable standing on guard. This election I only spotted one political poster in the whole ward on the side of a double glazing van. Canvassers were notable by their absence, no loud hailer vans, only the leafleters seemed active. A marked contrast to 1997 when almost every other window seemed to sport electoral opinions of one colour or another. With the loss of the personal vote for the excellent retiring M.P the seat of Thurrock changed colour on the back of 97 votes.
