I hope that anyone in that position, who cares about improving standards at Brent Council, will consider applying for one of the Independent Person posts. If you do, I wish you the best of luck.<br /><br />Philip Grant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-56016371224020634002016-01-04T18:04:57.669+00:002016-01-04T18:04:57.669+00:00More chance of Philip getting a partridge in a pea...More chance of Philip getting a partridge in a pear tree from Brent Council.......Nan.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-89594191703344383162016-01-03T14:37:39.696+00:002016-01-03T14:37:39.696+00:00Go for it Phillip!
