Braintree Council staff are all talking about Olly Murs
X Factor's Olly Murs has the support of Braintree Council.
The Witham man who went to Notley High School, Braintree, is the talk of most towns in Essex.
The whole of Witham is behind the 25-year-old and the backing is spreading.
At the end of a Braintree Council committee in Witham on Tuesday, councillor Ron Ramage urged his council colleagues to get behind the singing sensation.
