The Audit Commission have refused to sign off Brentwood Borough Council's accounts for 2008/9, saying that the Conservative administration have left them in too much of a mess. The council received the lowest grading - inadequate - in securing value for money.
Following an article in today's Brentwood Gazette (28/10/09) entitled "Party Leader voted for site on short list" I would like to set the record straight.
Your Liberal Democrat team report back from Ordinary Council.
Your Liberal Democrat Councillors will be moving the following motions at tonight's full council meeting:
The Liberal Democrat Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Simon Hughes MP, calls upon the public to help to support the Liberal Democrat motion on 10:10 this Wednesday. The Liberal Democrats have secured a debate in the House of Commons on climate change.
Brentwood West Liberal Democrats have launched a targeted campaign to try to slow down the traffic in London Road following the death of a resident's cat on Sunday night at the wheel of a speeding driver.
Liberal Democrats are committed to building town centres that inspire pride for generations to come. It is time to stop ignoring the decline of our high streets and breathe new life into them as vibrant hubs for the future.
The right to a trial by jury has been a cornerstone of our democracy for over 800 years. Liberal Democrat members have passed a new plan to tackle court backlogs without scrapping juries.
Learning to drive is a vital life skill. Liberal Democrat members passed a new plan to clear the backlogs, end the rip-offs, and get the next generation moving.
