FRYENT WEEK OF ACTION 29th SEPTEMBER TO 4th OCTOBER

As part of our Fryent Weeks of Action programme, Brent Council will focus on your local area for a week and address the concerns you have about the local area such as crime, the environment and health.

Brent Council services will be working alongside local residents and partners like the police, fire service and the local community to tackle issues raised by you the residents and try and make a difference locally.

You will also have more opportunities to meet your elected Councillors  and discuss local issues face to face.

During the week events will take place at various locations: Outside Kingsbury Library, Roe Green Park, Morrison’s Car Park , Springfield Mount / Edgware Road, and more to be announced..

So whether it is advice or just the opportunity to “Sound Off” look out for “Fryent week of Action” coming to a place near you soon.

For more information, follow us on Twitter @Brent_Council #weekofaction or @FryentCllrs or emailmyneighbourhood@brent.gov.uk or sign up to our blog.

Waste Dumping Enforcement

WASTE DUMPING ENFORCEMENT Watch out if you are dumping rubbish illegally in Fryent, or any other parts of Brent. Brent Council has started a new waste enforcement strategy. The contractor is leaving dumped rubbish and alerting the Council enforcement team. Before it is collected the Council will investigate and collect evidence of where it comes from. Apart from being anti social and unsightly, it costs all Council tax payers more as it is additional to the normal collection. If you are caught for a minor offence it will incur a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) which will cost you £80 pounds. For more serious dumping you will receive a caution and prosecution in the courts which may incur a heavy fine. There is also no excuse for dumping waste or fly tipping, if you ring Brent Council streetcare they will arrange to collect bulky waste free. Don't dump rubbish - put it in the correct bin, preferably recycling or phone and get it collected. Fryent Councillors.
