A complaint accusing three Brent councillors of breaching the code of conduct by attending a foodbank has been rejected, with a report concluding the visit was to lend support rather than being a political stunt.
GLA election candidate and Dudden Hill representative Cllr Krupesh Hirani, Brent Council leader Cllr Muhammed Butt, Alperton representative Cllr Trupti Sangani and Harrow councillor Ajay Maru attended a surplus food market at Alperton Baptist Church, organised by Sewa Day, on January 9.

An Ilford pharmacist who helped boost BAME blood donations after being told he couldn t donate blood has been made an MBE in the New Year s Honours.
When Ravi Bhanot was five years old his mother had a critical pregnancy and a blood donation from a stranger saved both the lives of his mother and younger sister. It made a huge impression on him.
Through the work of the Sewa Day charity Ravi and others have donated thousands of meals a week to homeless and vulnerable people throughout the pandemic.
