We will certainly miss her!<br /><br />Dear Lorraine,<br /><br />I was very sorry to read on "Wembley Matters" that you will be leaving the "Brent & Kilburn Times" at the end of the month. <br /><br />I have enjoyed reading your articles over the years, from the days of the "Willesden and Brent Chronicle". Since I first got involved in campaigning on local issues, with the fight to save the Victorian Willesden Green Library building four years ago (succesful, thanks to the coverage which you gave!) , I have also come to appreciate the excellent service you have given to the local community, in making people aware of what is going on, and being prepared to fight on the side of your readers.<br /><br />I hope that you will continue to follow what is happening in Brent during your new role. There is one story you have covered, involving a well-known Employment Tribunal case, and the "disgraced" HR Director, which is not quite finished, and which might still provide some front page news. Following the B&K report about the £157,610 "pay-off" last July, I was one of five "local electors" who objected to Brent Council's 2015/16 accounts. The auditor's enquiries into this matter are still continuing, but there is a chance that the payment may be declared unlawful, or at least that the auditor will issue a Public Interest Report, exposing the wrongs that were done by key figures at Brent in this "very unhappy episode" (as the Council finally described it to you, after a year of trying to cover it up!).<br /><br />Thanks again for everything you have done at our local paper, and good luck for the future. Best wishes,<br /><br />Philip.Philip Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216646114377430489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-22570852354452733792017-01-15T23:39:36.489+00:002017-01-15T23:39:36.489+00:00Read all about
