A pressure group about to be disbanded after almost half a century of campaigns is to make one final last stand.
Brentwood Civic Society, which has fought countless battles to make Brentwood better, will be wound down because of a lack of new members...but not before sending a letter of protest about two developments near Brentwood Station.
The civic society, which meets at the Old House in Shenfield Road, took the decision to fold at its annual meeting last week.
The recent death of long standing member Douglas Barber and the decision by chairman Michael O'Donoghue to retire meant there would not be enough people to ensure a quorum at meetings.
Mr O'Donoghue said: 'I am very sad that Brentwood Civic Society is going to be wound down. It will be a big loss to the town and it wasn't easy to resign.'
