The People's Independent Party (PIP) is a localist political party based in Castle Point, England. Formed in 2021 by independent councillor Steven Cole, and registered in 2022, PIP sought to prevent a local plan to build 5,000 homes in the borough, by taking control of the council from the ruling Conservatives.[1][2][3] At formation, the party had four councillors (including Cole), all originally elected as independents.
