After a hard-fought by-election in Oldham East and Saddleworth, the Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat Leader, Nick Clegg, paid tribute to the hard work of the Liberal Democrat candidate, Elwyn Watkins, and his team.
At a stormy Full Council meeting last night the Liberal Democrats spelt out their position on the Town Hall, confirming that they want to see the current Town Hall kept.
Deputy Leader of Brentwood Liberal Democrats, Cllr Barry Aspinell, has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Standards Board for England. Following a year long process, Cllr Aspinell was accused and found guilty of bringing Brentwood Council into disrepute by the local standards board, but his appeal has been upheld and the decision of the Standards Committee has been rejected and he should not have been suspended.
The meeting for residents to have their say about the future of the town hall will be now held at 7.30pm on Thursday, 9th December 2010 at the current Town Hall in Ingrave Road (postponed due to bad weather).
