Ealing Road is Our ambition is to establish three distinctive new neighbourhoods one of London’s best Asian shopping areas and the stunning new Shri linked by a high quality and lively stretch of canal. Sanatan Hindu Temple is nearing completion, once open it will be an important visitor destination. Hidden behind the housing and industrial estates is Alperton’s great surprise – one of the most under-appreciated stretches of the Grand Union Canal. Running along the canal is a network of small industrial estates, Alperton supporting a wide variety of businesses.

  • ABC of BRENT INFO PACK ABC of Brent Info Pack 2
    ABC OF BRENT INFO PACK ABC of Brent Info Pack 2 Hello, I’m Charlie Tims. Two years ago I helped to write Brent’s application to be London Borough of Culture 2020. In the time since I have got to know the borough quite well. I’m an interested amateur rather than an expert, but like you, I hope, I’m curious about this part of London and what has happened here. I Googled, checked Wikipedia and went to the archives and the museum so you don’t have to (but you should!). This document broadly corresponds to the ‘segments’ in part B of the Brent ABC. Reading it will provide you with additional context and useful tools for tackling the exercises in the Brent ABC. But first of all I’d like to point you to five useful sources of information. 1. MAPS OF BRENT 3. PHOTOS OF IMPORTANT PLACES Here is the shape of Brent on a London graphic; I find the photo sharing site Flickr useful for finding the borough boundaries and London Underground photos of buildings, landmarks and sites in the lines crossing the borough on Google Maps; an borough. You need to login with a Yahoo account, Ordinance Survey map of the borough; and a more but it’s worth it. Here’s the Gaumont State Cinema, complicated map with multiple pins picking out once the largest in Europe; some views of Wembley landmarks, culture and significant historical sites in Stadium taken from Barn Hill; the River Brent; the the borough. Ace Cafe; Kilburn High Road; and various other 2.

The economic downturn has meant that developments have taken longer to come forward in recent years and this has given the council the opportunity to reflect on what kind of development they would like to see in the growth area.

    Sent: 05 November 2018 13:18 To: reviews Subject: Second Copy to Brent Review Attachments: BHCoopPartySubmission2018revised2.docx; BHCoopPartySubmissionNorth2018.docx Dear Sir I am just sending second copies of the Brent and Harrow Cooperative Party submissions as I am not clear that you have received the first copies. Please find attached. One covers the north and one the south of the Borough Yours sincerely, James Powney Chair Brent and Harrow Cooperative Party 1 Brent & Harrow Cooperative Party Submission for Local Government Boundaries in the London Borough of Brent South of the North Circular Road 1 Introduction This is a submission to the Local Government Commission for Boundaries in England on behalf of Brent and Harrow Cooperative Party, an affiliate of the Labour Party. It proposes a pattern of wards in line with the Commission’s recommended electoral variance and taking good account of the major barrier of the North Circular Road, major boundaries such as railway lines and centres of community activity. A Note on the Cooperative Party in Brent The Cooperative Party is a well established feature of UK politics in general and Brent and Harrow in particular. It was founded in 1917 as an entirely independent party, but entered into an electoral pact with the Labour Party in the 1920s, and this has been maintained ever since. It has been legally registered as a political party ever since such a registration was required. The party currently has 37 MPs, making it the third largest Party in the House of Commons. It is also represented at all levels of UK government including 16 peers, six MSPs, 11 Welsh Assembly members and many hundreds of local councillors.
