  • Brent Infrastructure Funding Statement 2019-20 FINAL.Pdf
    1 Introduction 1.1 Brent is the 6th largest borough in London with a population of 334,700. It is projected to grow by at least 17% and reach 400,000 people by 2040. 1.2 The draft Brent Local Plan outlines an ambitious strategy to accommodate development in the borough to 2041. To support this growth, significant investment in infrastructure will be required. 1.3 An Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) supports the Local Plan. It sets out short, medium and longer-term infrastructure requirements to address growth needs. The IDP will be used to support the allocation of Community Infrastructure (CIL) and Section 106 (s106) funding. 1.4 This is the Council’s first Annual Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS). It has been prepared in line with the Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) Regulations 2019 and covers income and expenditure relating to CIL and s106 obligations for the financial year 2019/20. It also, where possible, sets out future spending priorities on infrastructure in line with the growth identified in the draft Brent Local Plan. 1.5 The Council uses s106 agreements and CIL to support development and mitigate its impacts and maximise the benefits and opportunities from growth to deliver the priorities of the Borough Plan (the Council’s Corporate Plan) and the Brent Local Plan. 1.6 The IFS sets out what infrastructure has been delivered to date via CIL and s106 planning obligations, as well as identifying, where it is able to do so, future infrastructure spending priorities. 1.7 The IFS will also help communities understand how the level of growth outlined in the Local Plan can deliver tangible outcomes and investment in infrastructure projects such as new public realm, health facilities, schools, transport and open space that will support long-term growth and development of the borough.

  • Aspire Commit Succeed
    ASPIRE COMMIT SUCCEED Leadership and management was judged to be outstanding “Leaders have a thorough and accurate understanding of the school, driving improvements rapidly where they identify the need for improvement”. (Ofsted July 2016) WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY I am very privileged to be the Headteacher of Alperton Community School. We are an inclusive multicultural community that provides a caring, supportive environment for all our students. We have the ambition and passion to help every student be the best they can be – both academically and personally. We want our students to Aspire, Commit and Succeed. I believe that if you have high expectations and work hard, success will follow; an approach which is clearly working, as our examination results continue to exceed expectations. Our GCSE A*-C grades are now well above national averages. Our A Level results for facilitating subjects are significantly higher than those nationally, with almost half of A Level students gaining places at prestigious Russell Group universities. Student progress from primary school is exceptional, with progress in Maths and English exceeding national averages. Recent progress puts us in the top 4% of schools for student progress, with Maths regularly in the top 1% and English regularly in the top 10%. Our successes have not only been acknowledged by Ofsted, who recently described Alperton as ‘Good’ with outstanding leadership and management, but by other national organisations such as PiXL (Partners in Excellence) and ALPs (designed to support schools and colleges at KS4 and KS5 to ensure that individual students make the best possible progress). We are very proud of our community, where students with a passion for learning are truly welcoming and respectful.

  • Underground Diary
    UNDERGROUND DIARY MARCH 2018 Problems with the snow continued on Thursday 1 March, with only the significant incidents of the day summarised, as follows: • Westbourne Park station remained closed from start of traffic – local power failure from the previous day. Opened at 07.25. • Piccadilly Line suspended east of Oakwood 06.20 to 08.10 – train gapped entering service from depot. • Southbound Northern Line train stalled at Hendon Central from 08.15 – service suspended Edgware – Golders Green until 09.15. • Eastbound Jubilee Line train stalled approaching Stratford at 07.05 – service suspended West Ham – Stratford until 07.50. Service recovery hindered immediately after by a defective westbound train at West Ham, causing another 20-minute delay. • Signal failure south of Kilburn southbound Metropolitan Line at 07.50. Suspended south of Wembley Park 08.35 to 09.25. Problems were exacerbated by a signalling problem between Wembley Park and Neasden Depot. • Turnpike Lane station closed 11.50 to 12.35 – fire alarm activated, • Metropolitan Line suspended south of Wembley Park 13.30 to 14.25 – defective northbound train at Marlborough Road disused station. • Intermittent signal failure on the westbound approach to Hammersmith Piccadilly Line from 18.55. Working trains through Hammersmith loop siding also failed intermittently and trains blocked back as far as Knightsbridge. Because of many other problems affecting the line, late running in excess of an hour and crew reliefs disrupted, it was difficult to recover because the lack of reversing facilities (Hammersmith and Hyde Park Corner were unavailable, as were some routes at Acton Town). Trains were taking in excess of 20 minutes between Hammersmith and Acton Town.
