I will fight for cleaner air, pressuring the council to meet its targets for active travel, and invests in cycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

I will fight for our green spaces, working with local groups and experts to ensure we maximise green spaces for recreation and for clean air.
  
I will ensure the council holds rogue landlords accountable within our ward and across the borough. The rental sector is rife with poor housing conditions, and landlords who seem to think laws do not apply to them. I will ensure the council uses the full range of their enforcement abilities to ensure better conditions for renters.
 
I will pressure the council to deliver genuinely affordable housing. Too many people are being priced out of the ward and the wider borough. At the moment the council's plans are to tell people to deal with it and find somewhere cheaper. We need to ensure that there is greater focus on social homes and regaining housing stock lost to right to buy.

 
Together, we can build a fairer, greener, better Brent
 - vote Green on Thursday.


Voting will be on July 4th alongside General Election polling.
