Brentwood's Liberal Democrat group has reacted with sadness and disappointment at the Conservative-run Borough Council's decision to approve plans for the demolition and re-building of Winifred Dell House, the elderly care home in Warley. This decision will mean that elderly residents may have to vacate the home.
At the recent budget setting meeting the arrogant Tories railroaded through their four per cent increase in your Borough Council tax and then poured scorn on anyone attempting to question where residents money was being spent or offer an alternative budget.
Cllr Derek Hardy, former Mayor of Brentwood, has announced he is to stand down from active politics after serving for 17 years as ward councillor for Brizes and Doddinghurst. Derek also served as county councillor for 12 years and parish councillor for 25 years.
Elderly people will be relocated from one of Brentwood's biggest care homes. The 40-bed Winifred Dell House, in Warley, will be demolished and rebuilt with 77 rooms.
I never cease to be amazed by the buck-passing the local councillors and MP do in their quest to avoid taking ownership of key issues like public transport and the integration of different modes.In addition I am staggered by the hostile reception to Crossrail given that all users of Brentwood rail station will benefit from having shorter journey times, more trains and better facilities.
The Liberal Democrats are committed to rebuilding the trust and compassion that the UK was once known for. We believe that our country has a responsibility to support those in need, no matter where they are in the world.
For too long, years of neglect and mismanagement by the previous Conservative Government have pushed our prison system into a deep crisis.
The Liberal Democrats have long championed proportional representation, advocating for a voting system where every vote truly counts. We believe that reforming our electoral system is crucial for a fairer democracy and better governance.
