UPDATED WITH LATEST CHANGES Brent Cabinet changes see Cllrs Agha, Miller and Hirani replaced by Stephens, Knight and Nerva

Brent Council has updated its website with new Cabinet appointments.

Cllr Neil Nerva replaces Cllr Hirani as Lead Member for Public Health, Culture and Leisure. Cllr Hirani is the Labour Brent and Harrow Constituency candidate for the May 2021 GLA Election (deferred from May 2020). Hirani lost little time in publishing a video congratulating himself on his performance in the Cabinet, which served the twin purpose of promoting his GLA campaign. LINK

Cllr Promise Knight replaces Cllr Tom Miller as Lead Member for Community Safety and Engagement

Cllr Thomas Stephens replaces Cllr Agha as Lead Member for  Schools, Employment and Skills.  Cllr Stephens was the main author of the recent report on democracy which was criticised as not going far enough by Cllr Gill LINK

Cllr Harbi Farah (Lead Member for Adult Social Care)
