Brentwood Liberal Democrats emphasised their support for a mixed use development for Merrymeade House that takes into account resident's concerns and environmental issues at last week's meeting of the Planning and Development Control Committee. We support the ground and first floors being used for community use as intended while developing the upper floor for affordable housing.
With the recent election of Boris Johnson as London's new Tory Mayor it was pleasing to see the priority he was giving to public transport and in particular buses in his first few days in office.
I would like to thank everyone who voted in the Brentwood North Ward last week, which saw a turnout increase on last year, and to thank residents for placing their trust in me as their new councillor. I shall do my best to speak up for you in the chamber and on ward issues.
We would like to pass on our thanks to all in Brentwood West and Warley who voted for us. Your support was greatly appreciated by us and although we are naturally very disappointed not to have been chosen to represent you, we will continue our ongoing support in order to give you the quality services you deserve.
I would like to say a very big thank you to the residents of Pilgrims Hatch who came out and voted for me at last Thursday's Borough Council elections. I am very grateful to have been re-elected with an increased majority and now the election is over will do my best to represent all the residents regardless of their political persuasion.
