Liberal Democrat County Councillor David Kendall has launched a campaign to get Halo Beacons installed at a number of dangerous crossings around Brentwood to help try and improve pedestrian safety.
Cllr Barry Aspinell attended the council meeting last night at which the Crossrail/Friars Avenue Car Park issue was discussed.
In yet another blow for oppenness and democracy at Brentwood Town Hall, the Conservatives have pushe through a new constitution that now prevents councillors not on a specific committee from asking questions during the debate.
Contrary to reports in the Brentwood Gazette that our MP Eric Pickles has "forced a U-Turn" over the purchase of the Friars Avenue Car Park, Brentwood Council's senior legal officer has confirmed that "nothing has been agreed or signed".
