I used to work for BNY Mellon in Ingrave Road, until all staff were made redundant and the office closed in Dec 2016. As well as BNY Mellon leaving Brentwood, other firms (e.g. Equity Red Star) have also disappeared in recent years, taking many hundreds of jobs with them. One of the biggest gripes of BNY Mellon employees was the lack of affordable parking. Whilst I appreciate that people should try to use public transport where possible, this was simply not viable for many people who worked at BNY Mellon and having to pay up to £10 per day was too much for many staff. When existing and new sites are being evaluated for the creation of more jobs in the Borough, both public transport links and the need for sufficient parking need to be very carefully considered.
