Essex County Council Liberal Democrats are calling on Essex County Council to start generating its own green energy in a Council motion, to be heard at the Full Council meeting on 12 October.
Serious concerns over safety of residents have led to the Liberal Democrats voting against the plan for this year's "Lighting Up Brentwood" event as the road will not be closed during the event. Tory plans to move the event to Thursday evening from a Saturday have also contributed to this decision.
Liberal Democrat councillors have called for the Conservative administration to come clean and tell residents whether key road improvement schemes, such as the much-needed improvements at Sandpit Lane and Devil's Head, will ever come to fruition.
PLANS to build flats in one of the most overcrowded areas of Brentwood have been thrown out.
A DECISION to allow more than 200 homes to be built on the former Highwood Hospital site has again been deferred after a number of concerns were raised.
PLANS for Brentwood's first crematorium have been given the go-ahead.
