On Monday 15 September, at an Extraordinary Council meeting, councillors backed a proposal to submit a five-unitary authority model as the Council’s response to the Government’s Local Government Reorganisation. If the Government selects this option, it would see Brentwood become part of a new authority with Chelmsford City Council and Maldon District Council.
The Government invited authorities to develop plans for how all-purpose unitary councils could provide essential public services more efficiently across the county. Brentwood Borough Council has responded to the Government’s Local Government Reorganisation by backing a proposal for five unitary councils.
The latest stage in Brentwood Borough Council’s ambitious regeneration scheme to build new high-quality and sustainable homes in Hutton has been marked with a groundbreaking ceremony as construction starts at Brookfield Close.
