Dear all, This hot topic is high on the agenda across the city, and coming to our area: We will be carrying out some pollution monitoring in the TTKK area, putting up tubes on 24th September - see below if you would like to join in. There will also be a public meeting on the subject on the evening of 21st September.  All are welcome.  More details below. Best, Janey Monitoring in our area. If you would like to join me to put out some monitoring tubes round our area at 3pm on Saturday 24th September please email me onjaneymcallester@gmail.com.  We are joining a project run by the London Sustainability Exchange and will put the tubes out for ten days, collecting them on the 8th and sending them back for analysis, so it would be great if you are available on that date too.  There will then be comparison with other areas and discussion of the results - we can meet again to talk this through and decide how we want to use the information.  Let me know if you'd like to join in. Public meeting The next meeting of Brent Connects Kilburn is scheduled for 7-9pm on Wednesday, 21 September 2016 at London Interfaith Centre (aka St Anne and St Andrew's), 125 Salusbury Road NW6 6RG. The first item on the agenda is Air Pollution in Brent: What's Being Done About It? Who's responsible for monitoring and assessing air quality in Brent? What effect has air pollution on health and wellbeing? How can we improve air quality in the borough? Join us for a BBC ‘Question Time’ style interactive session for answers to these and other burning questions on tackling air pollution in Brent. Brent is one of the London boroughs that has recorded some of the worst nitrogen dioxide levels, according to air quality monitoring statistics. Come and find out more, increase your understanding of the positions of these key stakeholders and support Brent’s ongoing commitment to ensuring the borough is a safe place to live, work and play. Panellists Aaron Kiely, Campaigner – Friends of the Earth Tony Kennedy, Head of Transportation – Brent Jennifer Barrett, Senior Regulatory Service Manager – Brent Oliver Lord, Principal Policy Officer (Air quality / green transport) – Greater London Authority On 13 September 2016, the Boundary Commission is expected to publish its draft proposals for new parliamentary constituency boundaries for England. There will be a reduction of five constituencies in London which could mean significant changes for Brent’s current arrangements. Brent’s electoral services team will be discussing how these changes will affect the borough. Please email brent.connects@brent.gov.uk if you have any questions in the meantime. I look forward to seeing you on 21 September, and thank you for your continued support. Visit Transition Kensal to Kilburn at: http://ttkensaltokilburn.ning.com/?xg_source=msg_mes_network
