Whereas Lib Dems and Tories refused to come. Nothing to say on local issues?

Good start, but to get into the brutal detail Wembley Matters is the documentation needed.

Kilburn has a Neighbourhood Plan Forum open to all to engage with, South of the electrified rail lines Kilburn Not/ Kilburn Wall is developer-led using a colonial exclusion playbook. Local people in zone become very much in the way and to be process excluded.

South Kilburn Public Open Space 2ha is not Green mentioned by Paul- yet is Brent Kilburn's only remaining park. Its under attack by Thames Water contractors May 26 , where are this parks guardians and protectors Brent? 170 years old post box removed, its laid in the contractor fences at risk of theft, this grade 2 listed Kilburn heritage would be better professionally re-set on the same street.

Granville Rec is a colonial meanwhile project and is excluding of local people. Go to the Allotment Garden, Regents Park Circle to see the exact same green growing idea, but with no padlocks excluding local people from accessing it- so a non colonial approach is possible .

OK Club is a religious group which has scooped up £ millions since 2001 ongoing. When such a diverse population growth zoned as SK (Kilburn Not/ Kilburn Wall) in reality needed the councils Granville Community Centre on which a housing mid-rise is being built instead 26.

Relegated for 47 years, but could the Greens get Kilburn South Population Growth Zoned promoted to the Premier League? (The amplified welfare state life conditions of its surrounding neighbourhoods).

Green care would be a new policy approach. New Kilburn Tower Wall is car-free housing, so tower dwellers MUST walk, cycle, use public transport. At slow speed step-by-step the waste crime and neglect (for further developer public land takes) really deep impacts minds, spirits and destroys hope.....

Its Anti-estate-ism politics year 47.

ZP does hint at ending that politics, but much of his party seem stuck in a bit of a time lag. End the exclusion/ lock out of estate tenants by bit-by-bit estate colonial (its all brownfield land) re-developer attacks. Green get the ever growing vote of the excluded dehumanised tower tenants of Brent.

Civil rights and neighbourhoods-by-design for tower hundreds C21 Brent zones.

South Kilburn has a big enough growth in population already to be a Brent ward of its own. How would councillors represent developer-led colonialism zoned?

The Greens should have a tower zones working group-
as more and more votes are in these SOCIAL EXCLUSION POLICY ZONES.

Martin is pretty expert on this, was first to flag the poor build quality issue in SK. Why build a housing block once, when with enough defects you can build the same block over and over again- tenants always pay trapped in negative equity.
