Brentwood & Ongar Liberal Democrats' website was named as Site of the Year 2009 at the Eastern Region Liberal Democrat conference on Saturday.
Liberal Democrat Leader Cllr David Kendall has slammed the Conservative administration running Brentwood Borough Council for the damning report they have received from the Audit Commission and has demanded to know if anyone is going to accept responsibility for the financial mess?
The Audit Commission have refused to sign off Brentwood Borough Council's accounts for 2008/9, saying that the Conservative administration have left them in too much of a mess. The council received the lowest grading - inadequate - in securing value for money.
