Cllr David Kendall is assuring residents that the Liberal Democrats are still very much the opposition on Brentwood and Essex councils and will continue to hold the local Tories to account, despite the national Liberal Democrat-Conservative coalition government that is now in place.
A personal message from Cllr David Kendall following the General Election result:
We welcome Cllr Philip Mynott, Brentwood North, Cllr Nigel Clarke, Brentwood West, and Cllr Vicky Davies, Pilgrims Hatch, to the Liberal Democrat group on Brentwood Borough Council and celebrate the return of Cllr Barry Aspinell, Pilgrims Hatch, to Brentwood and Cllr Derek Jacobs in Ongar.
As well as the general election, Brentwood voters also go to the polls today to elect a borough councillor in all wards except Tipps Cross and Hutton North, plus there's a by-election in Pilgrims hatch ward.. You can find out more about your candidate(s) here!
David Kendall, Liberal Democrat challenger in Brentwood & Ongar has welcomed the poll in today's Brentwood Gazette which shows the Liberal Democrats a strong second to Conservative Eric Pickles but says the only poll that really matters is the one on Thursday.
Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg has today launched 'My Personal Guarantee', a pledge that will run in leaflets and newspaper advertisements ahead of polling day.
