Brent Council has considerable tools
available to it to take more steps to address the environmental crisis including in the way it spends money and what it gives permission for. Appropriate challenge and scrutiny are essential to ensure good intentions expressed are effective but are difficult to achieve in a council that has for so long been
completely dominated by one party, the Labour Party. Brent needs
representation from different parties and a vote for the GreenParty is a vote
for greater scrutiny in the light of environmental issues which cannot be
separated from fairness and justice.
I have lived and worked in Brent for 9 years and am a keen cyclist. My‘day job’ is as an Anglican priest, presently based at Christ Church Brondesbury, home of Laurence’s Larder Community Kitchen and Food Bank. I am chair of governors of a community school in Brent, and a postgraduate student in Environment and Sustainability. Here I have learnt a great deal about the local community: the wonderful gifts of life in this area along with its challenges. I am delighted to be a candidate for Brondesbury Park and offer the people here the opportunity to vote Green.
