Lib Dems call for celebration of notable Brentwood citizens

Cllr Andy Fryd will table the following, seconded by Cllr Alison Fulcher:

"This Council resolves to increase public awareness of Brentwood's rich and vibrant, cultural and social history. Brentwood can proudly claim to be not just a participant in, but a wholehearted mover of social reform, education and cultural achievements that are sadly lacking in promotion.

"There have been hundreds of citizens of our town over the last millennium or two that have made significant marks in our history and this should be recognised in a number of ways. Blue Plaques, Statues, Information Boards are all established ways of celebrating these great people and their achievements. Other towns throughout the country have excellent ideas and we would like Brentwood to explore some of these and roll them out over a period of time in the borough".
