Happy Christmas from Brentwood Lib Dems

West Horndon Warning: Conservatives attempting to approve massive Green Belt Development

A stonishing scenes at Brentwood Council's planning committee meeting on Wednesday (18/12/19) saw West Horndon's two Conservative ward councillors speak enthusiastically in support of a major commercial application in the village, at odds with the Parish Council.

Challenging our Conservative MP on...Traveller Legislation

During the General Election campaign we promised we would hold the Conservatives to account. Our first challenge is over the traveller issue in Brentwood with an email direct to Alex Burghart MP from Cllr David Kendall:

Thank you Brentwood and Ongar

I would like to thank the 7,187 Brentwood and Ongar residents who braved the wind and rain last Thursday to vote for me and the Liberal Democrats. The vote we achieved was 2,761 (+5.2%) higher than what we got in 2017 and represented 13.6% of the total votes cast which was a good result. Nationally the Liberal Democrats increased their votes by 1.2million and their vote share in every region but our antiquated "first past the post system" meant that we ended with 11 MPs. Ed, Alistair, Wendy, Daisy, tim, Wera, Christine, Layla, Sarah, Jamie and Munira have already hit the ground running but under proportional representation we would have 80 equally superb representatives.

Kendall challenges Burghart to reject no-deal

David Kendall has today challenged the Conservative candidate to rule out a no-deal Brexit in December 2020.

Ranked 648 out of 650 - the crushing result for Brentwood & Ongar's Conservative MP Alex Burghart

In a poll he would prefer we didn't talk about, Alex Burghart has come third from bottom in an independent league of MPs.
