I understand that all Brent councillors this afternoon received a warning from a senior Brent Council officer that given political sensitivities during the pre-election period, and to avoid complaint, they should bear in mind that community skips are part of a well-established operation programme and not an opportunity for political publicity or promotion.
The message acknowledged that councillors might want to be at these events but that this should not extend to using them for canvassing or promotional photographs on social media.
The communication followed Wembley Matters story published earlier today raising the danger of political promotion via the Brent Council official Twitter account.

Well done Wembley Matters and the Brent officer. It wasn't so much that it was on social media, it was that it was on the official Brent social media. Whoever runs that needs a reprimand at the very least.
Brent needs to SKIP its 8 Growth Areas ("let development decide" zones) and return to Brent 'Forward Together' democratic, cohesive policies instead. Brent un-zoned- STOP THE WAR.
The fact that Liberal Democrat Cllr Georgiou was not named in this piece which appeared on The Brent Council website is also blatant Labour electioneering:
