Sad Loss of our dear friend and colleague Cllr Mark Reed
It is with great sadness that earlier this morning we learnt the sad news of the death of our dear friend and colleague Cllr Mark Reed.
Not only was Mark a hard-working community councillor serving the residents of Hutton South since 2009, he was a former Mayor of Brentwood and also served as Chairman of Brentwood & Ongar Conservatives.
Mark will be truly missed by so many people locally and was much respected by councillors across the council chamber.
Brentwood Borough Council as lowered its flat to half mast to honour his memory.
Outside of politics Mark was devoted to caring for the wide range of animals that he looked after at his home.
Mark also produced a production of "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at the Brentwood Centre featuring Chesney Hawkes as Joseph. Mark really was "The One and Only" here in Brentwood !
We are all thinking of his family, friends and ward colleagues Cllr Roger Hirst and Cllr Mellissa Slade at this very sad time.
Rest in peace dear Mark.
