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.

Amazon "amazes" on Corporation Tax
I think we should send Amazon a clear message today, " pay your fair share of tax based on the economic activity and profit you make in this Country."
Amazon are reported to have sales of 4.2 billion pounds in UK. Isn't it amazing that this multinational company manages to pay only 2.4 million pounds in UK Corporation Tax.
It also now appears that Amazon has received some amazing support from the UK in grant hand outs. It pocketed 10.4 million pounds from Scotland in financial support for sites in Fife and Edinburgh in 2011 and 2.5 million from British tax payers in 2012.g.
Lets hope Matt Britten, Googles vice-president, amazes the Commons Public accounts committee today and offers to pay up. Now wouldn't that be amazing!

Measles - are your children protected?
Measles - are your children protected?
Overall the number of cases of measles across London and in Brent remains at low levels. However, parents need to be aware that children are not fully protected against measles unless they have had the required two jabs of the MMR vaccine. The measles outbreak in Swansea may have caused concern among some parents about their children possibly contracting measles.
At the weekend there was conflicting reports in the Times and Sunday Times who were reporting different levels of vaccination rates for Brent. The Sunday Times reported Brent has one of the lowest uptake of MMR vaccinations between 10 and 12 year olds in London.It is clear that the recent outbreak in Swansea could have been avoided if more parents had not opted out of vaccinating their children against MMR.
It is never too late for children and young people to get vaccinated against measles. Parents of unvaccinated children, teenagers and young adults living in Fryent who have missed out on MMR should arrange for them to be vaccinated by their GP. If you are unsure whether your child has had two doses of the vaccine, speak to your GP who will have a record.
Fryent Councillors Brent.
