Following the changes in the Brent Executive it was likely that some of those who have been replaced would review their wider role as councillors.

Before the AGM sources said that James Powney was considering standing for Harlesden ward, where Helga Gladbaum is not standing again, rather than his present Kensal Green seat where he has been increasingly uncomfortable.
