The Canvey Island Town Council is holding its Annual Council Meeting on Monday 18 May 2026 at 7pm, where local officials will appoint members to the group’s key committees for the year ahead.
The meeting will take place in The Dellaway Room at The Paddocks Community Centre on Long Road. Residents are invited to attend the event to observe the proceedings and hear directly from their elected representatives.
During the session, councillors will be assigned to the council’s three main committees: Planning, Policy and Finance, and Personnel. These groups manage various aspects of local government operations for the Canvey Island Town Council, which consists of a Town Mayor, a Deputy Town Mayor, and nine other councillors representing the East, North, South, Central, West, and Winter Gardens wards.
The current leadership team includes Leader of the Council Steve Sach, Deputy Leader Elaine Harvey, and Deputy Town Mayor Susan Brooke, along with councillors John Anderson and Dave Blackwell. This upcoming meeting follows a period of public discussion regarding the council, including a petition submitted in August 2024 by nearly 3,800 residents calling for the authority’s abolition amid concerns over the management of Canvey Lake.
Further details regarding the meeting agenda are available through the town council’s website.
