The Budget and Council Tax Setting Meeting is the most important Full Meeting of Brent Council in the municipal calendar. This year's meeting on Monday February 23rd falls during Ramadan so a proposal has been made to accommodate members who wish to attend Itfar.
Instead of the usual 6pm start it has been proposed that the meeting starts as 3.30pm with a 15 minute break for Itfar at 5.30pm to 5.45pm.
The proposal is in line with Brent Council's respect for the borough's religious communities but also affects councillors and the public who will be working at this earlier time or who have after school childcare commitments.
