Brentwood and Ongar's Member of Parliament, Alex Burghart, has unveiled a series of positive developments and ongoing initiatives benefiting local residents across multiple sectors.
Educational Excellence and Investment
Significant progress continues in the educational sector with the Department for Education advancing plans for a new special school in the local area. This initiative forms part of the government's broader commitment to establishing additional special school places nationwide.
Meanwhile, St Martin's School in Brentwood has received exciting news about their successful bid to the Condition Improvement Fund. This funding will enable essential upgrades to their facilities, ensuring students continue to learn in an optimal environment.
Transport and Infrastructure Advancements
Commuters and residents will benefit from substantial infrastructure improvements as National Highways prepares to commence the A12 widening scheme between Chelmsford and the M25. This major project aims to enhance journey reliability and reduce congestion for the thousands of motorists using this vital route daily.
Supporting Local Households
As winter approaches, the MP reminds residents about available support mechanisms. The Household Support Fund remains accessible through local councils, providing crucial assistance to those facing financial challenges. Additionally, the Warm Home Discount scheme offers eligible households a £150 discount on their electricity bills.
Celebrating Local Excellence
The community's achievements were highlighted through the Brentwood Business Awards, where the MP had the honour of presenting awards to outstanding local enterprises. This celebration of business excellence underscores the area's vibrant commercial sector and entrepreneurial spirit.
