BRENTWOOD residents can now register a birth, death or notice of marriage at Brentwood Town Hall, in Ingrave Road.
It comes as part of Essex County Council's scheme to role out the service county-wide within 18 pre-existing libraries, and other community venues, such as town halls.
Councillor Anne Brown, Essex County Council cabinet member responsible for communities, said: “Community hubs offer a number of services in one easy to access space.
“They are a common sense solution to towns where different council services are dotted about in a number of separate buildings.
“Each community hub is unique and will offer different local services depending on the need in that area.
“We are currently exploring sharing space with police, district council services and voluntary services at a number of locations to make the best use of our public buildings to save money for the taxpayer.
“I would like to reassure residents that all appointments to register a birth or death will continue to take place in a private and comfortable space.”
Other nearby registration points include Burghstead Lodge, Billericay and Chelmsford Library.
