Levelling up not possible
Trevor Ellis, Chalkhill Road, Wembley, writes:
Democracy, local government, the London Borough of Brent, the Labour Party, Brent Council, Prospect House, Genesis Housing Association, and Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing.
What do they have in common?
Well, for starters, Brent has 59 seats held by Labour party councillors: including the newly elected Labour mayor, Lia Colacicco and so the Labour party, despite the recent loss of Labour supporters in Hartlepool, holds sway in this borough.
That’s all well and good for them, but what about the local residents with (or without) children, are their basic fundamental needs for housing being met? According to (Brent Advice Matters, 2021), “The council and Brent housing associations let about 500 social rent homes to people between April 2013 and March 2014.”
It’s heartbreakingly clear that the current system is failing to provide adequate support for rough sleepers.
I won’t vote in the upcoming and future GLA elections, because the people that stand and win the most votes consistently fail to address this problem properly.
In addition to that, how can Brent even aspire to become ‘Better’ until this issue is addressed wholeheartedly by the local authority and central government?
Cladding scandal a living nightmare
Tulip Siddiq MP, Hampstead and Kilburn, writes:
So many of my constituents in Hampstead and Kilburn have faced a living nightmare as a result of the cladding scandal, which is shamefully still not resolved nearly four years on from Grenfell.
