Shama Tatler, who confirmed that regeneration falls within her Cabinet role, with the Granville development being part of that. She meets regularly with key stakeholders, and said:<br /><br />'No final design has been decided as the architects are still in the process of public consultation. We want to deliver a centre that incorporates the needs of the community and all organisations involved in the building. I'd invite anyone interested to go to the consultation.'<br /><br />So, if you live in South Kilburn and/or use the Granville Centre, PLEASE go along to the meeting there TODAY between 3pm and 8pm and have your say.<br /><br />Philip.Philip Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216646114377430489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-39633238888729430382017-06-13T10:10:55.690+01:002017-06-13T10:10:55.690+01:00I agree with Jaine.
This is the text of an email...I agree with Jaine. <br /><br />This is the text of an email which I have sent this morning to the councillors for the ward where I live, under the heading "South Kilburn Regeneration - local people need their community centres":<br /><br />'Dear Fryent Ward Councillors,<br /><br />Although this relates to an area at the other end of the borough, I am writing to ask for your support for the people of South Kilburn who are trying to protect an important community resource in the face of a Brent Council "vision" which does not reflect their needs. <br /><br />I will "copy and paste" below a statement issued by Granville Community Kitchen, and would ask you to read this and consider carefully their very reasonable case. I believe that a matter related to this is due to be considered at the Cabinet meeting next Monday. I would ask you to take whatever action you can to get the South Kilburn plans reconsidered, with the needs of the local community given top priority.<br /><br />What is best for our local communities is an issue which concerns residents throughout Brent, and one on which it is right for electors and councillors from across the borough to express their views. I hope that you will do your best to support the people of South Kilburn. Thank you. Best wishes,<br /><br />Philip Grant.'<br />(the text of the Granville Community Kitchen statement - copied from the blog above - was included in the email below this).<br /><br />My Fryent Ward councillors include Shama Tatler, who is a member of the Cabinet, and two senior Labour councillors who have previously been Cabinet members, George Crane and Ruth Moher.<br /><br />Our elected councillors are supposed to be there to represent the views of their constituents. If you agree with Jaine that we should 'stand up and fight for (y)our community', why not write to your Brent councillors, asking them to support the residents of South Kilburn and their community facilities such as Granville Community Kitchen.<br /><br />Philip.Philip Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216646114377430489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-87332935195359289902017-06-12T22:18:27.727+01:002017-06-12T22:18:27.727+01:00When you destroy the heart of a community, its cal...When you destroy the heart of a community, its called destroying Social Capital, family, friends, the whole demographic. How can we stand by and watch this happen. This is criminal, injustice, on every level. Stand up and fight for your community. Let us all tell Brent Council that what you say and what you do is two different things. The fact that Brent Council have made a decision to totally refute the Localism Act 2011 and go out and behave like Estate Agents, sell off publicly owned land, without any proper consultation is a criminal act. I request that any viewers of Wembley Matters especially if you are of the legal persuasion that understands what is going on, make yourself known, do this as pro-bono and make a difference, this is not on and these people need to be brought to account. Not only in Kilburn, but Brent as a whole. We all know where this ends up. We can look to the US, when they destroyed communities moved them out and built the projects, stop this now!
