PRIME Minister David Cameron visited Frinton’s Tendring Technology College to unveil his plan for boosting the economy in the East of England.

Mr Cameron arrived at the academy’s Frinton campus, in Rochford Way, on Friday afternoon to outline the Conservatives’ “plan for working people” alongside Clacton’s parliamentary candidate Giles Watling.

The Tory leader praised the “outstanding” academy’s principal Caroline Haynes before launching the plan.

She said: “We were initially asked if we could hold an event for a senior member of the cabinet, but we didn’t expect the Prime Minister – it was a surprise.

“It was an honour to have the Prime Minister visit our school. He was good enough to meet with me to talk about issues to do with education, including issues of concern.

“It was really interesting process to watch and I was really grateful that the Prime Minister mentioned the success of the school – it was a very enjoyable day.”
