Residents in Brentwood are angry to find that they have been buying Lord Hanningfield's tipples over the last few years after news emerged that his £4,600 Bar Bill in the House of Lords was funded by the Essex taxpayer.
Cllr Graeme Clark has reacted angrily to Essex County Council's apathy over the state of the pavements in Priests Lane - currently home to 32 separate potholes.
Cllr David Kendall is asking local residents and bus users to back him in trying to save the 73a and 73b bus services covering Woodman Road and Clements Park in Warley. First Buses recently announced that they will no longer be running the sections of the route via Clements Park and Woodman Road that operate between 0900 and 1400 on weekdays. These changes are set to come into effect from the 5th May. David contacted the Passenger Transport Dept at Essex County Council several weeks ago and asked for an alternative operator to be found as these routes provide a vital lifeline for many residents particularly the elderly. He suggested that Brentwood Community Transport should be contacted to see if they could assist but he is still waiting to hear if that has been done. If no bus operator can be found to cover these areas it will be a big blow to many bus users in Warley. It will also be very frustrating because when the Clements Park estate was built alot of money was spent on installing raised kerb bus stops
For over three years, the Liberal Democrats have been calling for all Brentwood councillors to be criminal record bureau checked for the safety of vulnerable residents and children that they deal with but have constantly been pushed back on this by the Tory administration.
We look at some of the decisions Tory-controlled Essex County Council have made in our name and with our money:
Only the Liberal Democrats will stand up to Trump, invest in the UK’s security, support Ukraine, hold back Russia, deepen our ties with European and commonwealth partners, and stand up for liberal, British values.
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
The Liberal Democrats' bold plan to restore UK leadership in science and innovation will drive investment, boost global collaboration, and ensure technology benefits everyone, not just the privileged few.
