The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

Fryent Country Park extends to 108 hectares formerly in the parishes of Harrow and Kingsbury. The Park is surrounded by suburbia and bisected by Fryent Way (the A4140).

  • Air Raid Precautions in the Borough of Wembley During World War Two
    Air Raid Precautions in the Borough of Wembley during World War Two. When the prospect of war loomed again in the 1930’s, memories went back to the First World War, when London had been bombed by German Zeppelin airships and long-range Gotha aircraft, and poison gas had been used as a weapon. The Government started to make plans to protect the civilian population as best it could, and all local Councils were instructed to make plans for Air Raid Precautions (“A.R.P.”) in their areas. Wembley Council appointed Jack Eddas as its A.R.P. Officer in February 1938. An A.R.P. lapel badge. [Brent Museum collection] Mr Eddas and his team organised the distribution of gas masks to all the residents of the borough, and started planning and recruiting for an air raid wardens’ organisation and for air raid shelters, ready to put these plans into operation as soon as another war with Germany seemed inevitable. A special Civil Defence Committee, chaired by the Mayor, Malcolm Campbell, was set up in July 1939, and eighty Warden Posts were organised across the whole of the borough. At its height, Wembley’s A.R.P. Service had around 2,500 air raid wardens, some working full-time and paid £3 a week, but 95% of them were volunteers, both men and women. A recruiting poster for air raid wardens. [Source: Imperial War Museum (?)] The Council appointed a Chief Warden, who had 12 District Wardens under him, each responsible for supervising all of the A.R.P. Posts and wardens in his District.

  • Read 334 Inspiring Stories
    Inspiring stories from AudioFuel customers Since I've been an audiofuel customer, running has helped me deal with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Even when I feel low, tired and like I don't want to carry on, listening to audiofuel tracks helps to give me the motivation I need to get out and run. When I run, it helps improve my mood and this in turn helps me to live life to its fullest. ______________________ I lost 3 stone after running to audio fuel pyramid 200 and went on to complete a half marathon having only trained for 10 weeks ! My proudest moment was when I planned to go out for a 3 mile run, got lost and managed to run 5 miles! My first distance larger than 3 miles, and I kept at the same pace. I was so proud of myself! ______________________ Inspiration from Team AudioFuel Page 1 of 79 I'm 62 and have been exercising routinely for decades. However I amped it up with the interval training and not only did I peel off a few pounds, but my energy is great! I love intervals and so does my dog. (I also out ran my 37 year old son, and it inspired him to amp it up too!) ______________________ Having come back from 8 months of injury and operations, all my running has been done to audiofuel, without it I don't think I would be back running 4 times per week. The speed session is slower but I can see improvement, the long runs painfully slow.

    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Brent May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Brent 1 1. Alperton Sports Ground 2. Barham Park 3.
