Fryent Councillors, Jim, Ruth and George met with our Ward Working Officer Vik Mistry last week. We needed to assess the projects and proposals for allocating Ward Working Money for this year.
We have 20K to allocate to local community groups working for the benefit of local residents. Following a detailed discussion we agreed to fund the following schemes, some will be jointly funded with other Ward Working schemes to offer better economies of scale.
The successful schemes were; 1. The Kingsbury Somali Youth project (** joint funded) 2. A Burglary Prevention scheme run by Elders Voice. 3. A “Teen Club” in Kingsbury Library. 4 We have also allocated money for a “swim bus” to pay for transport to Vale Farm sports centre for the elderly to go swimming. 5 We are also going to donate a much needed bench in the Bush Grove area.
We still have a small amount to allocate and some projects are still being considered but we have asked for more information. If you know of any scheme that requires a small amount of money send an e mail with details to vikash.mistry@brent.gov.uk.
We meet again in October to finalise and sign off this year’s budget allocation.
