All Brentwood's Lib Dem candidates are fighting against the Conservatives' proposal to close libraries across Essex (including Ingatestone and Shenfield) and cut opening hours to others (including Brentwood).

Liberal Democrat councillors called for Essex Council to take a lead on undertaking full assessments for clean air zones to tackle air pollution in February 2019. The Conservatives rejected the idea.

Brentwood Lib Dems have secured tactile paving for partially sighted people, additional blue badge spaces in the town centre and made Brentwood a blue-badge parking "Zero Tolerance" borough.

Our candidates are all fighting to stop the Conservatives closing libraries across Essex, including Ingatestone & Shenfield.

Andrew Fryd has been selected as our candidate for the Shenfield borough council seat on 2 May 2019.

He attended Hedley Walter School in the 1960s and has lived in Brentwood all his life, the last 30 years in Shenfield, and has raised a family here. He is a licensed taxi driver, operating out of Shenfield station. Prior to this, he worked in local government for 30 years.

Brentwood North's Cllr Alison Fulcher is working tirelessly to enforce the law at the 'One Stop' shop in Ongar Road and, having exhausted other avenues, has now approached the Department of Transport directly to attempt to stop the damage caused to roads, pavements and properties.

Alison says:

"Brick walls knocked over, manholes sunken, pavements and kerbs cracked and damaged, but residents inform me that when they have contacted Safeway or their delivery partner DHL, they took no responsibility for the damage their vehicles make.

Brentwood Lib Dems believe that Brentwood residents should see some real benefit from the sale and development of Brentwood Police Station.

The Tory Police & Crime Commissioner says the £8 million received will be spent policing across Essex. We believe a large slice of this money should be ring fenced for policing in Brentwood.

Residents of Downsland Drive, Gerrard Crescent and Burntwood have often found themselves stranded in the snow and ice due to the gradient of Downsland Drive.

Now, things are set to improve in Brentwood West as local council candidate Sarah Cloke has secured a salt bin for them, funded by Essex County Council
