  • Tokyngton Wards Are Major Destinations in Themselves in Addition to Being Residential Areas
    ELECTORAL REVIEW OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BRENT WARDING PATTERN SUBMISSION BY THE BRENT CONSERVATIVE GROUP RESPONSE TO THE LGBCE CONSULTATION NOVEMBER 2018 1 | P a g e Introduction Why Brent? During the current London Government Boundary Commission Executive (LGBCE) review process, it has become clear to us that since the previous review in 2000, warding levels have developed out of balance. Brent Council meets the Commission’s criteria for electoral inequality with 7 wards having a variance outside 10%. The outliers are Brondesbury Park at -16% and Tokyngton at 28%. Electoral review process The electoral review will have two distinct parts: Council size – The Brent conservative group welcomes to reduce the number of councillors to 57 from current 63. We appreciate that this will require some existing wards to be redrawn, and recognise that this will represent an opportunity to examine whether the existing boundaries are an appropriate reflection of how Brent has developed since 2000. In addition, the establishment of new developments such as South Kilburn Regeneration, Wembley Regeneration, Alperton and Burnt Oak and Colindale area. Ward boundaries – The Commission will re-draw ward boundaries so that they meet their statutory criteria. Should the Commission require any further detail on our scheme we would be very happy to pass on additional information or to arrange a meeting with Commission members or officers to run through the proposals. 2 | P a g e Interests & identities of local communities The Commission will be looking for evidence on a range of issues to support our reasoning. The best evidence for community identity is normally a combination of factual information such as the existence of communication links, facilities and organisations along with an explanation of how local people use those facilities.

  • Wembley Park to Harrow Weald
    Cabinet 11 December 2017 Report from the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment Quietway - Phase 2: Wembley Park To Harrow Weald Kenton, Northwick Park, Preston, Wembley Wards Affected: Central Key or Non-Key Decision: Key Open or Part/Fully Exempt: Open No. of Appendices: 2 Background Papers: None Rachel Best, Contact Officer: Transportation Planning Manager Tel: 020 8937 5249, [email protected] 1.0 Purpose of the Report 1.1 This report introduces the proposed phase 2 Quietway cycle route from Wembley Park to Harrow Weald. This includes two spurs: one to Wembley Central station; and the second along Churchill Avenue to Kenton Road. The programme is at an early stage with only an indicative route, passing through the central and northern parts of the borough. 1.2 Quietways are important as they provide a network of routes on safer, lower- traffic back streets, aimed at new and less confident cyclists and the proposed phase 2 route from Wembley Park to Harrow Weald forms part of the wider cycle network outlined in the Brent Cycle Strategy 2016 – 2021. 1.3 Seven Quietway routes identified in the pilot phase are being implemented, including one from Regent’s Park to Gladstone Park, which will benefit Brent residents. 1.4 The Quietway programme has evolved to include improvements for pedestrians as well as cyclists. Implementation will involve improvements to junctions and signage to make cycling and walking safer. 2.0 Recommendation(s) 2.1 That Cabinet: 2.1.1 Agrees the route of the proposed Quietway through Brent and for the scheme to be continued to detailed design and consultation.

This project identified and characterized key issues associated with the current and future provision of community facilities in Brent –communication and outreach among Brent Council, facility suppliers, and users; mindset of facility managers; influence of community boundaries on facility use; youth needs; transportation and accessibility; and current policies. Recommendations include a “neutral” Council-run website to advertise available community space and a training program for facility managers. ii Brent Community Facilities Appraisal May 09 Acknowledgments Our project could not have been completed without the help of many people from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and from the Brent Council.
