It's a two horse race
Dear Editor
Dear Editor
Cllr Karen Chilvers has made a formal complaint to the council following inappropriate comments made by a Conservative councillor last week.
Brentwood's Liberal Democrats are demanding to know who gave the go-ahead for the issue of a brutal and draconian letter issued to the town's retailers two weeks ago.
Cllr David Kendall, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group on Brentwood Borough Council, has expressed his shock and sadness on hearing the news that Alan Cherry has passed away today after a short illness.
At the request of Cllr Karen Chilvers, a decision on Taxi Licensing has been called in to the Overview & Scrutiny Panel on the grounds of inadequate and insufficient information and because due processes were not observed.
The Liberal Democrats have expressed their immense disappointment that rebates for the High Street retailers will not form part of the agenda for the council's inaugural Economic Development Panel on Monday. Cllr David Kendall requested this come to full council as an item of urgent business in December but withdrew the request after assurances from the Mayor that this would be discussed at the January meeting.
The international stage has been shaken by a series of reckless and illegal actions from Donald Trump’s White House. Liberal Democrat members have passed a new motion to bolster our national defence and strengthen our alliances with reliable partners.
For too long, tech giants have treated children as data to be mined, using addictive algorithms and harmful content to keep them scrolling. While some are calling for blanket bans, we know these are impractical and risk isolating vulnerable groups.
If the answer to “Is our nuclear deterrent working?” depends on what Donald Trump had for breakfast, then the answer is no, it’s not. And our deterrent is not truly independent.
