Nigel Farage

Reform UK — Clacton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 October 2026

Debate

Local Government Reorganisation

Contribution

I am pleased that my party’s legal challenge has bought us a stay in Essex and elsewhere, but to re-emphasise: district councils matter to remote, rural and coastal communities. In Clacton, planning decisions—big decisions that matter—are taken in Clacton town hall. Under your proposals, those decisions will be made in a large population centre.
