A local, independent voice focused on practical change for Clacton.
My Manifesto at a Glance
Practical priorities for Clacton, focused on the everyday issues affecting local residents, families and businesses.

Better access to GPs and NHS dentistry, stronger local services and proper support for elderly people, disabled residents and unpaid carers.
Housing for Local People
More genuinely affordable homes, improved rental standards and housing decisions that recognise established local connections.
Crime and Antisocial Behaviour
More visible policing, stronger action against repeat offenders and proper support for residents and local businesses.
Jobs, Apprenticeships and Young People
More year-round jobs, paid experience, useful training and realistic opportunities for young people to build a future in Clacton.
Transport and Accessibility
More reliable buses, better hospital connections and transport that works for elderly and disabled residents.
Town Centre and Local Businesses
Visible regeneration, support for independent businesses, improved public spaces and stronger year-round trade.
Coastal Protection and Flooding
Long-term funding for sea defences, drainage and flood protection, with clear public information about plans and progress.
Accessible Local Representation
Regular surgeries, direct contact, clear public updates and an MP who makes representing Clacton the priority.
Immigration and Border Control
Firm and lawful border control, faster decisions and proper enforcement without racism, hostility or collective blame.
Addiction, Rehabilitation and Mental Health
Earlier treatment, long-term rehabilitation, support for affected families and practical help that reduces relapse and protects communities.
I will judge proposals on what is best for Clacton, remain available to local residents and treat being the constituency MP as a full-time public responsibility.
KIND
Together, we can do more.
As MP, Martyn will develop KIND. Across Clacton there are kind-hearted people who want to help their neighbours and communities. KIND aims to connect these people with local organisations, community projects and individuals who need practical support.
I Want to Help
Register as a volunteer and offer your time, experience or practical skills to support people and organisations across Clacton.
We Need Help
Local organisations, community groups and individuals can explain what support they need and what volunteers could help them achieve.
Support KIND
Individuals and local businesses can support community activities through donations, resources, volunteering and corporate social responsibility.
34 Candidates. One Vote. Who Should Represent Clacton?
Compare the candidates, their published policies, experience and connection with the Clacton constituency.
A record 34 candidates are standing in the Clacton parliamentary by-election on .
The ballot includes national party candidates, independents, local campaigners and several openly comic or satirical campaigns. Some candidates have published detailed local priorities, while others had little or no clear Clacton-specific policy information on the profiles checked.
Our candidate comparison brings together the available statements, campaign links, party details and election records so residents can examine what each candidate has actually published before casting their vote.
Some People Have Already Voted
Postal ballot papers are already arriving in Clacton, and some residents have publicly shared that they have marked their vote and posted it back.
Yet candidate election mail is still being prepared and processed. Some voters may therefore make their final decision before receiving information from every candidate.
Established parties can prepare campaigns before an election is called. Independent candidates do not have the same machinery, funding or national publicity. Should postal voting begin before every candidate has had a reasonable opportunity to reach voters?

What a load of rubbish
We get it, let’s stick it to old Nigel by making him lose to a Bin. Its a perfect protest vote, but it wont solve genuine local issues , even if he does move the hand dryer at the pub. He has stood in multiple elections, including against Andy as he is not interested in Clacton or its real issues.
Nigel – £5 Million Gift and 12+ Jobs
We love success, but seriously, how can Nigel represent Clacton and solve local issues while he juggles 12 jobs and pockets a questionable “gift” Nigel has held ZERO surgeries to meet local people since being elected and help them with their issues. He has failed to represent Clacton.
We have a large elderly population that suffer with mobility challenges, transport issues, difficulties accessing health services and sadly many live in isolation.
We are aware of these issues as we speak with the community and Martyns work with Mobility UK brings him into contact with elderly and disabled people who have mobility issies.
With support and funding, we aim to set up group activities to reduce loneliness, organise home visits for those living alone in isolation and set up a support line for those struggling with depression and loneliness.
