A Christmas message from Brent's Green councillors

 

Dear Brent residents,

As the year comes to an end, we want to wish you a happy Christmas and a restful festive break.

It has been a difficult year for many people in Brent, with ongoing pressure from rising costs and stretched public services. At the same time, we’ve continued to see residents, community groups and volunteers supporting one another and standing up for what matters locally. That sense of shared responsibility is one of Brent’s real strengths.

Looking ahead to 2026, we remain hopeful that Brent can move in a fairer, greener direction — one that puts communities first and protects our shared future. We’re committed to continuing that work alongside residents in the year ahead.

Thank you for everything you do for your neighbourhoods and communities. We wish you and your families a peaceful Christmas and all the best for the new year.

Best wishes,

The five Green councillors in Brent
