BIN COLLECTION CHANGES

From the 2nd December and for all collections after this date you need to put your bin as near the the street as possible. If you don't do this your bin may not be collected.

The bin must be within your garden and not on the pavement.

The Council is providing a special assisted bin collection service for residents who are unable to move their bins out to be collected. This service is only available if you have a disability or a health condition. If you think you need assistance please call 020 8937 5050.

Why is this happening? It will make the collection of waste more efficient and quicker.

Thank you for helping Brent Council be more efficient.

New Health Centre for Kingsbury

Multi-million pound plans to build “urgently needed” doctors surgeries in Kingsbury have been approved to cope with a growing number of new patients.

The empty patch of land in Stag Lane, Kingsbury, near the Village School will be transformed into a new centre including a pharmacy and 11 new flats.

The Fryent Medical Centre in Church Lane and the Willow Tree Doctors Surgery, which operate from small residential houses in Kingsbury, will relocate to the new centre to accommodate the growing need for improved health care facilities in the area.


The 11 flats are expected to be completed by winter 2014 and the medical centres will be built by summer 2015.

The housing will consist of one, two and three bedroom apartments for shared ownership, and priority will be given to social tenants, people on the housing register and first-time buyers.

Fryent Councillors have been working closely with the GP Practices and the wider NHS, Brent Council and the Network Housing Association. We are delighted that this scheme has finally been approved, this scheme delivers a solution with great benefits for Kingsbury and its residents and patients and adds much needed housing.

Small Business Saturday 7th December

Brent is celebrating Small Business Saturday on 7th December, for those of you that have not heard Small Business Saturday is about encouraging people to "shop local"

The idea was first talked about by Chuka Umanna,  Labour Shadow Business Minister and the idea is rapidly growing.

To help launch Small Business Saturday, Brent Council is holding a Small Business Exhibition at the Civic Centre on Friday 6 th December. A showcase of local products and business leaders will join Brent Regeneration and Growth officers to help with advice on managing red tape or starting up a business.

Council Leader Cllr Muhammed Butt and Cllr George Crane Lead Member for Regeneration and Growth will be meeting business leaders and listening to ways Brent can help small business grow in Brent.

It is also important that we all get out to our local shopping parades in Kingsbury, Church Lane and The Hyde in Edgware Road to "shop local"

Fryent Councillors.
