Lib Dems slam Brentwood Council for plans to close town centre disabled car park
Brentwood's main opposition party has accused Brentwood Council of duplicity in relation to plans to close the William Hunter Way disabled car park and move provision for disabled parking elsewhere.

Over the last three years a staggering £0.5 million has been paid out by Conservative run Essex County Council to 1502 residents whose cars have been damaged by potholes on the County's roads.

Whilst I am pleased to see that 1500 residents have recieved some compensation from the County Council I am concerned that there are at least another 2,000 residents who have made claims over the same period and will be getting nothing". "These shocking figures may have forced the Tories into investing £11 million pounds in emergency pothole repairs just 8 months before the County Council Elections but for many long suffering Essex residents this will be to little to late as the damage has been done".

Free To Be Who You Are
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
