It was 22nd November 2012 when Cllr Philip Mynott tried to get some documents from Brentwood Council regarding the William Hunter Way development - a development proposed in his own ward.
In response to the Daily Telegraph article "Councillors for hire who give firms planning advice" that exposes councillors who charge consultancy fees of up to £20,000 to developers, Brentwood Liberal Democrat councillors would like to make it clear that they have never been, are not and never will be "for hire" to developers.
Brentwood Tories' claim to be "an open and transparent council" have taken another body blow after they refused to hold the "Public Information Panel" in public and said that the meeting must take place behind closed doors.
