BRENTWOOD TORIES FAIL TO CONSULT ON CLOSER LINKS WITH BASILDON, THURROCK & CO

Brentwood's Conservative Borough councillors recently voted for Brentwood to become a member of the Association of South Essex Local Authorities (ASLEA) Joint Committee. ASLEA consists of seven Councils, Basildon, Brentwood, Castle Point, Rochford, Southend on Sea, Thurrock and Essex County Council. The decision was made during a heated debate at Brentwood's Ordinary Council meeting on (28/7) when Lib Dem councillors raised a number of key issues and highlighted the Tories failure to consult with Brentwood residents on such an important decision

TORY AUSTERITY CONTINUES IN BRENTWOOD

At Brentwood Council meeting on Wednesday July 28th, the local Tories confirmed an on-going policy of austerity. In particular, it was confirmed that the 50/50 sharing of Brentwood Council's chief executive with Rochford council is, in fact, a cost-cutting measure. It is also understood that Brentwood Council's senior management team will also be involved in this scheme. A Tory spokesman also confirmed last night that there will be accompanying staff reductions at Brentwood Council.

Shared Chief Executive arrangements for Brentwood

Following the announcement by the Conservative administration that our Chief Executive is to take up a joint role as Chief Executive of both Brentwood and Rochford Councils, the Tories say this will present a saving to Brentwood as Rochford will be paying half his salary. We say Brentwood has been in a similar position before. It didn't work then, and it will not work now.

Hartswood Road: Renewed Calls for Speed Camera

County Councillor for Brentwood South, David Kendall, is calling again for a speed camera to be installed on the Hartswood Road, Warley, on the section that runs alongside King George's Park. Hartswood Road has a 30mph limit and a Vehicle Activated Speed sign but that is making little difference to the numbers of vehicles that are travelling well in excess of that speed. The road was the scene of a fatality last year and there have been other fatalities further down in the woodland section. With the Borough Council investing millions of pounds into the new leisure facilities at King George's Park, David is very concerned that this will greatly increase the numbers visiting the park and increase the numbers parking in the nearby side roads that will desire to cross to get to the park. He said: "I have asked about having a speed camera installed in Hartswood Road in the past but was told the road didn't meet the criteria. I strongly believe that situation has now changed with all the development going on at Kin
