A Profile of People Living in Brentwood Essex Local Authority Portraits A product of the Essex Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) A profile of people living in Brentwood May 2016 Organisational Intelligence The borough of Brentwood is situated in the southwest of Essex and is a pleasant, busy town conveniently situated for London, the surrounding countryside and villages. Brentwood has a good mix of shops, schools, businesses and recreational facilities. The borough is located within the Metropolitan Green Belt, with the heart of the town only minutes away from pleasant woods, commons and rights of way. Apart from its urban heart, the borough of Brentwood has about 3,000 acres (about 1,215 hectares) of woodland, three country parks, a large amount of farmland and a number of very attractive villages within its borders, yet it is only 18 miles from London. Road and rail connections are excellent with the M25, A12 and A127 trunk roads within the borough and convenient, fast rail links with London and East Anglia. Stansted, City and Southend airports are all 30 to 40 minutes drive away, with Heathrow and Gatwick airports not much more.

It has a slightly higher proportion of over 65s compared to the county as a whole although a 17% increase is expected between 2015 and 2025 equating to 2,600 more people. This ageing population will put greater demand on health, social care services and housing needs. The working population is essential for economic growth, requiring adequate housing, access to jobs and businesses, and the Brentwood proportion is forecast to decrease by two percentage points by 2024.

  • 10 December 2014 Extraordinary Council Whole Council Elections For
    10 December 2014 Extraordinary Council Whole Council Elections for Brentwood Borough Council Report of: Ben Bix, Corporate and Democratic Services Manager Wards Affected: All This report is: Public 1. Executive Summary 1.1 This report advises Council of its power to change its electoral scheme to whole council elections. Brentwood Borough Council operates an election scheme by thirds 1, holding a Borough election three years out of four. The typical cost to the Council of a shared election is £69,000; the cost of a sole Borough Council election is £95,000. Whole council elections offer a potential saving of between £138,000 and £195,000 over a four year cycle. The Council can change its electoral cycle should it resolve to do so. 1.2 In order to resolve to change its electoral cycle, the Council must: a) Have taken reasonable steps to consult such persons as it thinks appropriate on the proposed change; b) Convene an extraordinary meeting of Council to consider the proposed change; c) Have at least two-thirds of those voting at the extraordinary meeting of Council vote in favour of the proposed change; and d) Ensure that the year for the first ordinary whole council election is specified in the resolution. This cannot be the same year(s) as whole council elections for the County Council. 1.3 This report facilitates steps b), c) and d) above. Step a) was initiated by Ordinary Council on 22 October 2014. 2. Recommendation that: Council decides whether to retain a scheme of elections by thirds or change to a scheme of whole council elections.
