KINGSBURY AND KENTON AREA FORUM

Have your say - join the debate on Brent's next budget.
The next meeting will take place on 8th February commencing at 7.00 pm to be held at Kingsbury High School, Princess Ave, Kingsbury N.W.9

Brent Council is inviting residents and businesses to have their say about its proposed budget for the next financial year by joining the discussions at the next Area Forum meeting.


The proposals for the 2012/13 budget recognise the difficult financial position faced by Brent Council because of the loss of central government grants and other funding, which will be equivalent to a 26 per cent loss in funding between April 2011 and March 2015.

At the recent Full Council meeting, the Council Executive proposed six priorities for the 2012-2013 budget. The priority areas include increasing employment and job opportunities for Brent residents, improving our neighbourhoods and people's quality of life, working with young people, integration of social care and NHS health services and further regeneration of the borough.

We look forward to hearing your views.

Cllr George Crane, Jim and Ruth Moher
