Yet they don't have a wage to buy their own food. its also not their fault they reside in a borough that has illegal limits of air pollution, poor quality infrastructure and ever decreasing Green spaces as the planning department in Brent continues to build these concrete jungles with limited spaces that are safe to play. This is despite Brent having the lowest percent (21.9%) of Green space across all the London boroughs. Also, Brent is approving these schools which only have space for children to play on the roof. Surely alarm bells should ring at that. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Brent make a choice to cut facilities that provide activities like Stonebridge adventure playground, yet give nearly £18m of community infrastructure spending back to developers for steps. It's a disgrace. Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419322826872295307noreply@blogger.com
