It's a two horse race
Dear Editor
Dear Editor
Cllr Karen Chilvers has made a formal complaint to the council following inappropriate comments made by a Conservative councillor last week.
Brentwood's Liberal Democrats are demanding to know who gave the go-ahead for the issue of a brutal and draconian letter issued to the town's retailers two weeks ago.
Cllr David Kendall, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group on Brentwood Borough Council, has expressed his shock and sadness on hearing the news that Alan Cherry has passed away today after a short illness.
At the request of Cllr Karen Chilvers, a decision on Taxi Licensing has been called in to the Overview & Scrutiny Panel on the grounds of inadequate and insufficient information and because due processes were not observed.
The Liberal Democrats have expressed their immense disappointment that rebates for the High Street retailers will not form part of the agenda for the council's inaugural Economic Development Panel on Monday. Cllr David Kendall requested this come to full council as an item of urgent business in December but withdrew the request after assurances from the Mayor that this would be discussed at the January meeting.
Leader's Speech to Autumn Conference 2025
Women’s rights around the world are under attack, with authoritarianism on the rise and deep cuts to UK aid undermining decades of progress. Defending women's rights must be a top priority and the UK must act boldly.
Two years of brutal civil war have turned Sudan into one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with over 30 million people in urgent need of aid. Our new policy calls for UK leadership to end the conflict - standing with the Sudanese people.
