Mayor Dave Hodgson has announced a scheme to encourage residents to come together to invest in renewables through a group-buying scheme for solar panels and battery storage - 'Solar Together Bedfordshire'.
It is with great delight that I can report the Brentwood Liberal Democrats had an excellent night on Thursday with gains made in the local elections. It was our target to ensure that all sitting Councillors won their seats and all did so. Congratulations to Mark Haigh, Phil Mynott, Dominic Naylor and Barry Aspinell in being reelected. A huge vote of confidence in the work that they do. We also wanted to make gains and we did just that in taking seats in Shenfield and Ingatestone. Well done to Nicky Cuthbert in Shenfield and Darryl Sankey in Ingatestone, Frerning & Mountnessing. These two will make excellent Liberal Democrat Councillors, working for their local communities. Their hard work has ensured that we are closer to our objective of winning overall control of Brentwood. Commiserations to Brenner Munden who fought so hard but came up just short in South Weald. Overall we had the most votes in this election across all wards. Totals being: Lib Dem: 7898 Conservative: 6933 Labour: 2367 Green: 286 Reform
This was a successful election for the Lib Dems, winning all 6 of our target wards across Milton Keynes for the first time since 2014!
It all started, rather innocuously, with a shared meme of Martin Luther King saying:
COVID-19 has not gone away. It's still really important to make sure that you and your family are protected, and people across Bedford Borough are getting protected with their booster and spring booster vaccinations.
The Liberal Democrats have blasted the Conservative Government for presiding over an ambulance waiting time crisis "spiralling out of control", as shocking new figures show that people across the country are facing increasingly dangerous delays for medical help.
