A presentation from Divest Brent to the council’s cabinet yesterday (Tuesday, April 6), delivered by Cllr Matt Kelcher (Lab, Kensal Green), criticised the council pension fund’s backing of non-renewable energy. Supported by a petition with 1,400 signatories, it suggested failing to take action will mean the council will “remain part of the problem” when it comes to tackling global warming.
