Last year I had a fascinating time visiting Dagenham Engine Plant. During my tour of the plant I talked a lot with the management about how I wanted more young people from Castle Point to apply for the jobs on offer there, and how locally we could match their skill requirements.

Today's budget was good for Castle Point and good for the hardworking families and businesses across the country.

The next phase of our election campaign has been launched today as Rebeccas' 'Plan for Castle Point' starts to arrive on doormats across Castle Point.
