Working with the public and third sectors is embedded at the very heart of Brent’s strategic framework. The Borough Plan identifies a number of key priorities of particular relevance in the context of the One Public Estate Programme: Better Locally - building partnership – between local service providers and between local services and residents – to find new ways of providing services that are more finely tailored to individual, community and local needs. Better Place - increasing the supply of affordable, good quality housing – The Borough’s aim is to develop 5,000 additional homes by 2019 Better Lives - supporting local enterprise, generating jobs for local people, helping people into work and promoting fair pay Brent’s Property Strategy 2015 to 2019 builds on these themes identified in the Borough Plan, and sets out four key objectives: Objective 1 – Support the Delivery of the Borough Plan - To use and maintain assets to enable and support service delivery and transformation in pursuit of Borough Plan priorities. Objective 2 – Promote Community Resilience - To proactively explore the community transfer of assets in support of Borough Plan priorities. Objective 3 – Value Generation - To maximise value generation in respect of the property portfolio, with a focus on increasing ongoing revenue generation. Objective 4 – Support the Delivery of the Regeneration Strategy - To promote investment and acquisitions in areas of long term value growth in support of the Borough’s regeneration, housing agenda, and planning for new school places. Brent has a proud track record in the field of regeneration as evidenced in particular by South Kilburn and Wembley. The Regeneration Strategy for Brent 2010 – 2030 looks to deliver transformational change in: Alperton, Burnt Oak, Chalkhill, Church End ,Harlesden, North Circular Road (including Brentfield and St Raphael’s), Stonebridge, South Kilburn, Wembley. The Strategy sees partnership as being central to regeneration, forming and developing strong partnerships with public, private and the third sector; and where necessary identifying areas for joint service planning and budgeting, and sharing of resource to build on strengths and avoid duplication; thus maximising benefits for local people. A key priority for Brent is supporting the NHS Brent Clinical Commissioning Group in the delivery of their Brent Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP). OPE is seen as playing a crucial role in providing this support, particularly in terms of lobbying for the retention of receipts generated locally. 7 There is a strong correlation between Brent’s Borough Plan, Property, and Regeneration Strategy objectives and the core objectives of the OPE programme, namely: Creating economic growth (new homes and jobs) More integrated, customer-focused services Generating capital receipts Reducing running costs. Thus for Brent, OPE is all about delivering on our promises. The Wembley Project plan detailed below illustrates how Brent is already working with public sector partners, notably the DWP, and the College for North West London, and the appetite for accelerating and enhancing this co-operation via the OPE programme. Northwick Park represents a huge potential opportunity which to date has largely been neglected. Initial investigations for the purposes of this submission have already begun to unlock the door to this opportunity. OPE will pull the door wide open via initial funding and ensuring the co-operation of all public sector partners. Our Vision: Is that OPE will enable us to further strengthen existing partnerships, and open doors to new partners, complementing the aspirations of our Borough Plan and delivering on our promise of Better Locally, Better Place, and Better Lives for Brent residents with the aim of having a common Public Sector estates plan that is driven by each Public Sector Partner’s Service needs. 8 Governance
