played a crucial role in re-starting Brent Green Party as an effective political
body and went on to steer it through the early decades of this century. He was
unstinting as an organiser of campaigns and as a campaigner. As Party Chair and
Election agent he ensured that the party stood candidates in local, regional
and national elections, and also stood as a candidate himself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

had a scientific background and training which informed his deep commitment to
Green politics and ideas. Long before many others he was aware of the
potentially catastrophic impacts of human-caused global climate change and its
environmental feedbacks. He argued that this was manifesting itself in loss of
biodiversity, especially of insects as the basis of the food chain. However he
combined this understanding with a determination to enact these ideas
politically as can be seen here </span><span style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"><a href="https://brentgreens.blogspot.com/2010/06/brent-greens-call-to-safeguard-climate.html" target="_blank"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 20pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">https://brentgreens.blogspot.com/2010/06/brent-greens-call-to-safeguard-climate.html</span></a></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 20pt; mso-color-alt: windowtext; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">.</span><span style="font-size: 20pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

is no surprise that he welcomed the intervention of Greta Thunberg and
Extinction Rebellion in the climate crisis campaign. In fact, he loved the
development of ideas and politics through debate and his colleagues and
comrades both in person and online. We will sorely miss provocative and
insightful discussions with him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The news
that National Education Union members in Brent will be striking on February 1<sup>st</sup>
is welcomed by Brent Green Party, who together with the Green Party of England Wales as a whole,
support all workers taking part in the current strike actions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We recognise
that NEU members are making just claims for pay increases that at least give
some respite from the pressures of inflation which is outpacing the incomes of
many except wealthy cabinet ministers and donors to Tory party coffers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We know that
the issue is not just pay, the NEU strikes and others are in defence of proper public
provision in such vital areas such as education, health and transport. A viable
low carbon economy can only be built on these foundations, so the strikes of
the NEU members in Brent and many other trade unionists are an important part
of wider struggles which are vital to us all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You may remember
that back in May I invited you to join the Divest Brent deputation to the
Pension Fund Sub-committee on 27.6.22. In the event that did not happen because
27.6.22 was the first meeting of the all-new Pension Fund Sub-committee
following the May elections – and was to be used essentially as a training
session.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our deputation was
therefore postponed until the following meeting which is on 5.10.22. I would
now like to invite you to join that deputation. The meeting will be held in the
Boardroom at the Brent Civic Centre, Engineers Way, Wembley, HA9 0FJ at 6 pm
(we are asking members of the deputation to aim to arrive at 5.45 pm). The
deputation, which will be led by Glenis Scadding (unfortunately I will be on
holiday in the Lake District), will take a maximum of 5 minutes – although I am
hoping that there will be an item on the agenda to discuss divestment, in which
case it would be good if at least some members of the delegation stayed on for
that. The agenda will be displayed on <a href="https://democracy.brent.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=155&MId=7143&Ver=4" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc;">https://democracy.brent.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=155&MId=7143&Ver=4</span></a> a
week or so before the meeting. Only Glenis will be speaking. The more people
that we can field the better.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

This helps ensure a degree of independence and accountability. However, in a surprise move Cllr Butt announced an amendment to the constitution enabling him to nominate the vice chairs and named two Labour councillors for the roles.

The situation is absolutely unacceptable. Residents are precluded from enjoying their homes due to the foul smell coming from the Brook as a result of the pollution going on. This has been ongoing for quite some time now and none of the relevant authorities are doing anything to address the issue. The responsibility is just being passed from one agency to the next whilst residents continue to suffer. It is basic human rights, I think, that these residents should not have to endure things as they are. It is also a health risk. As the Brent Green council candidate for the area, I renew my calls to the three organisations (Brent Council, Thames Water and the environmental agency): the situation demands immediate attention, solution and investments needs to be made to ensure that this does not happen again.</span></span></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Adding her voice to the campaign, Emma Wallace, coordinator of Harrow Green Party, said:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></span></span></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The Wealdstone Brook runs from Wealdstone in Harrow (where it gets its name), first emerging above ground at Kenton and running past the bottom of a number of gardens into Woodcock Park and the borough of Brent, past Wembley Park tube station and finally, joining the River Brent. The current toxic state that Wealdstone Brook has been allowed to descend into is unacceptable, negatively impacting both the local environment and Brent and Harrow residents' lives. It is disgraceful that people are being exposed to sewage film and chemical pollution in one of their local rivers. It is a basic requirement of living in a civilised society that we have healthy and sustainable waterways to support our local environment, for humans, plants and animals. Someone urgently needs to take responsibility for cleaning up the brook - be that the local water board, Thames Water; the Government's Environment Agency or Brent and Harrow Councils - ensuring that this health and safety emergency does not happen again.

Leafleting outside Sainsbury's in Willesden Green yesterday several people raised the issue of proportional representation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">This is what the ERS says:</span></p><p>
</p><h1><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: black;">It’s time for fair votes in English local government</span></span></h1><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Even though May’s local elections haven’t happened yet, many people already
know their vote won’t make a difference. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Local councils are supposed to represent their communities. But often the
make-up of council chambers fail to reflect how people voted – The First Past
the Post system throws millions of votes on the scrapheap. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">In London alone, <a data-id="21336" data-name="90_stat" data-type="external_url_pb" href="https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/why-england-needs-the-single-transferable-vote/" target="_blank">90%
of wards with more than one councillor</a> are represented by just one
party, leaving hundreds of thousands of voters without a voice. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>It’s unfair, undemocratic and completely fails to represent the
views of voters. But there is a better way. </strong></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">This election must be the last under our broken winner-takes all
system. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Northern Ireland has used <a data-id="21336" data-name="stv" data-type="external_url_pb" href="https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/voting-systems/types-of-voting-system/single-transferable-vote/" target="_blank">the
fairer and proportional Single Transferable Vote system</a> for local elections
for decades – and in 2007 Scotland joined them. Wales has given councils
the right to choose. Now it's time England caught up.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">It’s time for a proportional system where no one has to ‘hold their nose’ at
the ballot box, and where there is healthy competition – rather than a politics
of safe seats and ‘one-party states where everyone loses. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Britain deserves a democracy where votes aren’t thrown on the electoral
scrapheap – but where there is real choice and where our voices are always
heard. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><h3><span style="font-family: georgia;">Background</span></h3><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Local elections in England use the first past the post system, which means
local councils often look nothing like how people vote. Here are just a few of
the recent results.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLDjE1i_cBm6dzPbv1jiT4xGnLUjcugxx2pr1IgEhfWJKHCkCllMxuuY8rivz6py59JGxDclIo3q3zNjRtLXkxsSrZAolcEBigsKzBdX6CNdV69VI9_qWrjgbbNkVJjawIFroKqHvqrQZ5bhV9TBFC1WLn67xpILBMJ5Ix4sFk_eyAsXBa_jWuXWg1/s581/VoteShare.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="366" data-original-width="581" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLDjE1i_cBm6dzPbv1jiT4xGnLUjcugxx2pr1IgEhfWJKHCkCllMxuuY8rivz6py59JGxDclIo3q3zNjRtLXkxsSrZAolcEBigsKzBdX6CNdV69VI9_qWrjgbbNkVJjawIFroKqHvqrQZ5bhV9TBFC1WLn67xpILBMJ5Ix4sFk_eyAsXBa_jWuXWg1/w640-h404/VoteShare.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /> </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbN2e8RGjhbFR9_CHbKplrBa-ZHg4GZgnSJLBjqBx5Xo_RoNyEEQt0P17LyLqixg5_0NYbD52xKWsXsqkff5nwAevaEXYNNAe8jtKYmflUF8AHjSF44K4ItxcbqGGCySBUiqIsQ7Y_I5AQK8ROnlc6MKATIM2VBYxRYbj-sC0KOL7ITZv5FS2n6K0H/s581/Seatshare.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="366" data-original-width="581" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbN2e8RGjhbFR9_CHbKplrBa-ZHg4GZgnSJLBjqBx5Xo_RoNyEEQt0P17LyLqixg5_0NYbD52xKWsXsqkff5nwAevaEXYNNAe8jtKYmflUF8AHjSF44K4ItxcbqGGCySBUiqIsQ7Y_I5AQK8ROnlc6MKATIM2VBYxRYbj-sC0KOL7ITZv5FS2n6K0H/w640-h404/Seatshare.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="http://ers.tools/local-democracy"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>USE THIS LINK TO SIGN THE PETITION</b></span></a></span><br /><p></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I was privileged to be asked to stand as a council candidate
in Tokyngton by residents. <span> </span>They were not
happy with the service they receive from the current Labour incumbents and
wanted a positive alternative who had the ward’s needs as his priority.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Residents had written to Muhammed Butt (Leader of Brent
Council) about their concerns and had received no response. An article on my
blog Wembley Matters and their presentation of a petition to Brent Council
eventually produced some action in the run up to the council election.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I was previously headteacher at a Wembley primary school and
developed a close relationship with parents and the local community. This
opened my eyes to the issues they faced and when I retired I set up my local blog
to campaign for environmental and social justice.<span> </span>My aim was to give a platform to people whose
voices are unheard, ignored or disparaged and put pressure on the council for
more transparency and accountability.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">My particular concern has been the over-close relationship
between the council leadership and developers which has resulted in over-development
and the gradual swamping of classic suburban Metroland in the Wembley area by densely-packed,
high-rise flats that despite the council’s claims are not affordable to local
people.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I continue to be involved in primary education and champion
a broad, creative curriculum, rich in the arts and music, rather than a narrow
pursuit of tests results. After retirement I ran a voluntary organisation,
Brent Schools Without Walls, offering free environmental education to primary
pupils in Fryent Country Park. I fought with others against the closure of Stonebridge
Adventure Playground and the loss of six of our local libraries, including
Tokyngton.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The almost one-party Brent Council needs an effective
opposition passionate about Brent and its people. Make your vote count – even one
Green in the council chamber can help make a difference.</span></span></p>
