The Mayor’s Biography - Councillor Barry Campagna

In 1964 when I was 10 years old, I moved from Islington to Canvey Island. I attended Canvey County Junior School and then Furtherwick Park School. In 1970 I started to work in the building and construction industry.  I completed my career as Managing Director of CMC Maintenance Contractors to a multi-national company.  I am a founding member of the Canvey Baywatch voluntary group maintaining and cleaning the beach area of Thorney Bay.   

For the past 46 years I have been married to Deborah and we have 2 sons, Joshua and Jacob. In 2012 I was first elected to Castle Point Borough Council to represent residents in Canvey Island South ward and have been a Borough Councillor for Canvey Island South ward up to this present time. I have also previously been a Canvey Island Town Councillor and was Canvey Island Town Mayor in 2018/19. 

For the past 2 years I have been Deputy Mayor of Castle Point Council.  Serving the residents of Castle Point is my passion and I look forward to this coming year as Mayor.
