"Befo...According to a labour party website...<br /><br />"Before politics, Cllr Shama Tatler was a secondary school History teacher and has always been passionate about opportunities for young people. She taught in both Smethwick in the West Midlands and the London Borough of Brent.<br /><br />Following the 2010 General election, she joined the party and immediately got involved in campaigning and activities in her CLP.<br /><br />In 2014, she was elected to Brent Council and served on various committees before becoming a member of the Cabinet with responsibility for Regeneration in 2016. She currently oversees some of the biggest developments in London ... She’s passionate about council and social house building, and believes in sustainable development. She believes in the need for better spatial planning policy to really deliver housing and infrastructure." <br /><br />We all have transferable skills but that's quite a huge change in career for a history teacher.<br /><br />Who scrutinises the decisions she's pushing through or the work she's supposedly overseeing?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-74865309161685543532022-11-20T18:41:25.636+00:002022-11-20T18:41:25.636+00:00Cllr.

Lightweight says: There are 24,000 households on the waiting list, over 1,700 families currently living in temporary accommodation and a further 240 families in priority need for a transfer because of issues such as overcrowding. Every home we develop is an opportunity for a family to have the security of a permanent home that meets their needs.<br /><br />This development ain't going to make any diffrence is it, by the time they've built them they'll have to sell them all and borrow a bit more just to pay for the build.<br /><br />As for Cllr Towerblock, she just doesn't care about resident safety, if people die here in the future because they can't get the big fire appliances in, I hope she sleeps well (not). What an absolute .... she is.

I have always voted Labour but will now not be as the Labour Cllrs don’t have any pride in keeping this Borough safe and a good place to live. The Council Officers are also not visible or available not even when Cadent were given the go ahead to do gas works on our estate. Reduce dents had to check with the Council that these works were agreed by the Council. Initially were told not so don’t let anyone into your homes and then a few months later when again checked with the Council residents were told that this was agreed works. Ti date the officer in charge has not communicated in any form with the residents. So what is he/ she getting paid for? <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-30684484598098088852022-11-19T11:06:50.644+00:002022-11-19T11:06:50.644+00:00Butt really wants his Mega-Borough at the expense ...Butt really wants his Mega-Borough at the expense of the residents through their pockets and their health.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-69486928865174965622022-11-19T09:55:49.026+00:002022-11-19T09:55:49.026+00:00SPOT THE DIFFERENCE:

Shama Tatler at Cabinet meeting on 14 November:<br />Every new home developed brings in more money from Council Tax and Community Infrastructure Levy that we can spend.<br /><br />It is Cllr. Tatler's drive to build, build, build in Brent, in her many years as Lead Member for Regeneration, fully supported by the Council Leader, which has led to so much overdevelopment in the borough. <br /><br />Brent's New Council Homes team also appear to believe that it gives them the green light to push through schemes, without early and proper consultation with the existing residents their often ill-conceived projects will affect.<br /><br />From the responses above, Cabinet members have no intention of changing the way they behave, despite the views and wishes of the people they are meant to represent and serve.Philip Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216646114377430489noreply@blogger.com
