Former Clacton MP Ivan Henderson has launched a new interactive website to conduct polls on local issues.

Mr Henderson, who has been selected as the Labour Party’s prospective parliamentary candidate for the constituency, is seeking residents views on a number of issues.

The polls already running ask people whether they agree with Mr Henderson that the NHS should always be free at the point of need and whether there should be no freeze on the minimum wage.

The new site also highlights Mr Henderson’s activities and views.

“As Labour’s parliamentary candidate it is important that I am available for people to contact and this new interactive web site will make this a lot easier,” he said.

The website can be found at www.ivanhenderson.labour.co.uk.
