Councillor Fleur Donnelly-Jackson, Cabinet Member for Resident Support and Culture, said:
We are thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of these new services with our customers and residents. The brand-new Resident Hub area provides a more accessible, comfortable, and confidential space to better serve residents, while the upgraded library, with dedicated areas for study, children, and public PC use, has become a vibrant hub for learning, study, and cultural activities.
Don’t miss out on this fantastic event! Join us at Brent Civic Centre on Saturday 7 December, 11am - 4pm to celebrate the opening of these fantastic new community services.
Labour spent over £2 million on this. The Library is now split between two floors. Hope the works causing bus delays in Wembley High Road are sorted in time (usual NO WORK but traffic lights stopping movement) don't make it impossible for residents to get there. Another self indulgent celebration at our expense clashing with the Community event at Chalkhill.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Anonymous 16:48 regarding the works on Wembley High Road, it’s causing utter chaos they could have easily managed this with a contraflow lane, but they choose do nothing. They have cameras on Wembley High Road so if they wanted to do something they would have because they should be able to see the traffic, but nothing is done as usual as they simply don’t seem to care. It’s a very sad state of affairs.
