Astonishing interview with Neil Stock, Leader of @Tendring_DC just now on @BBCEssex re: joint letter from all #Essex councils to @SadiqKhan & London Borough Council Leaders telling them to stop moving problem families from the capital into the county. 
Neil Stock tells @DaveMonkEssex that although many parts of #Essex are affluent, there are pockets of severe deprivation, and "we don't need London to dump their problems on us." He adds: "These families have no say - they're being expelled almost"
When @StockNeil is asked how much it's costing the county to deal with this issue, he says "maybe tens of millions". "It's not fair on hard pressed tax payers in Essex that we're having to subsidise London's problems" he adds.
Asked what this letter to London Councils can actually achieve, @StockNeil says he hopes "we can shame these authorities into action" adding "I don't think residents in London Boroughs would be happy to know they are doing this in their names".
