Tribute was paid to the good work implemented by the late councillor Brian Weller by Castle Point's transport chief.

Brian Wilson (Lab, St Mary's) took over as lead member for transport from Mr Weller after his death in December last year.

In his yearly report Mr Wilson highlighted some of the achievements his late colleague had made in the seven-and-a-half years he was in the job.

He said: 'Brian presided over the rejuvenation of the shopping areas in the town centres of Canvey, Hadleigh and Thundersley."

He also saw foot-way improvements, funded by the county, and cycle ways.
