Mr Brass election is a notable because the seat had been held by Conservative representative Jane West, who was vying to extend her term in the area. Mr Brass has lived in Bushey since 1972, and served as a Hertsmere borough councillor in the 70s before he was forced to give up his political career when he became a judge.

Why is Bushey a good place to live? Bushey may feel under siege from new development at the moment, as a result of opportunities arising as a result of Hertsmere Borough Council’s local plan being put together. In recent weeks, proposals have come forward for a football stadium and other facilities at Bushey Hall Golf Club, and housing and a secondary school at Bushey Country Club. And while Bushey has not escaped development in recent years, the town it still incredibly sought after and popular with existing neighbours, with its village-feel shopping areas, community spirit, and green spaces. Bushey boasts excellent school opportunities, with three secondaries, a host of primary schools, as well as a selection of private schools.

Thank you for your report on the plan to build a new school on the old Bushey Country Club site. I find this hard to believe. Is it truly correct that another 1900+ pupil secondary school has been proposed in Bushey? How is a small area like Bushey to cope with another massive school with the resulting traffic along High Street as pupils from all the surrounding areas come in to Bushey? Why does an area such as Borehamwood that is much larger only have one secular secondary school but Bushey already has three large senior schools? From what I have read on social media residents who took part in the consultation have been totally ignored and another school was not want they requested. Is this just another ruse by the Conservative-led council to end up with a much larger housing development built on greenfield land in the end?
