CITY STATUS FOR CHELMSFORD

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 6 April 2000

That this House welcomes the Home Office's clarification that applications for city status, including one from Chelmsford, are still being actively considered and that no final decisions have yet been made; thanks the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for taking the initiative in writing to honourable Members to clear up this confusion; and believes that Chelmsford as the county town of Essex, the cathedral town for the diocese of Chelmsford and the site of local government administration for Essex County Council has an overwhelming and outstanding case for city status.
