Annual budget response from Cllr David Kendall, Leader of the Opposition on Brentwood Borough Council:
Local Liberal Democrats, including parliamentary candidate Cllr David Kendall and local business owner and activist Nigel Clarke, have welcomed Nick Clegg's recognition that high streets are an essential part of the local community.
Welcome to the first issue of LD2010 - an online weekly round-up and look forward to the latest news from the Liberal Democrats.
A bit of fun is what everyone needed to cheer them up in Brentwood Town Centre! So, Crown Street was the scene of the very first town pancake race on Tuesday.
Cllr David Kendall, prospective parliamentary candidate for Brentwood & Ongar, has welcomed today's pledge by Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg that promised to support any legislation needed to make payback of sale profits from the taxpayer-funded second homes of MPs possible.
The Tories have been accused of being "out of touch" today for wrongly claiming more than half of girls in the most deprived areas get pregnant before they turn 18. They said the conception rate for this age group in the 10 most disadvantaged areas of England was 54%, while the real figure was 5.4%.
The Liberal Democrats are taking a stand to hold tech companies accountable, equip the police with the right powers, and build a digital world where women and girls can live safely and without fear.
Supporting people to age well and maintain their independence is better for them and common-sense for the NHS. The Liberal Democrats are taking a stand to fix social care, protect our NHS, and ensure everyone can age well in their own home and community.
Liberal Democrat members have renewed our commitment to fix the front door of the NHS, restore patient choice, end dental deserts, and ensure preventative care is accessible before health problems turn into emergencies.
