Thank you for your support

I would like to say a big thank you to all the residents who came out and voted for the Liberal Democrat candidates at the recent Brentwood Borough Council elections. We were delighted that Cllr Vicky Davies held her seat in Pilgrims Hatch with an increased majority and that Cllr James Sapwell was elected for the first time in Brentwood North following the retirement of Reg Straw. It was with great sadness that we lost Karen Chilvers in Brentwood West by just ten votes. Karen had served her residents with great passion and commitment for the last four years but sadly it wasn't enough in what was always going to be a very hard fought contest. I know many Brentwood West residents and the members of the Lib Dem group will miss Karen greatly but we all wish her well with whatever she decides to do next.
