What they are doing is putting more stress on budgets as the service providers will have to service the student accommodations I E collect rubbish etc. what this means is the council tax payers will have to pay more to subsidise all who do not pay or are not required to pay the council tax. On top of all this Brent’s so called Leaders are planning to reduce the frequency of bin collections when more rubbish will be generated in the area. <br />Good plan to increase the rodent population and create the right atmosphere for disease to spread as the whole area will be overpopulated. Well done Brent not.

I seems even more obvious looking at next week's changes to Brent's Standing Orders in order that some Councillors (selected by the Leader) and Officers are going to be predetermining planning applications before they are even made. <br /><br />We need new homes for our residents they say, so why yet more Student Accomodation?<br /><br />We need more homes for the Council Tax they say, but Student Accomodation don't pay Council Tax.<br /><br />Ah, but then there's the CIL, that could well be over £1.5 million, but Im not the expert. What will Brent spend that money on? Probably just waste it as usual or use it to facilitate yet more awful and unnecessary developments through subsidising their no longer affordable building projects as can be determined by reading the last Cabinet Report on Affordable House. <br /><br />Poor Brent! Slough used to be the laughing stock, but it seems Brent want that title too.<br /><br />Yes, Brent have built more bedspaces than any other Borough and changed its entire nature and desirability. To be fair, there are a lot of run down areas in Brent that reflect it being one of the most deprived areas of London, so parts of Brent do need sorting, but is this the solution, a concrete jungle with a massive transient population that Student Accomodation and Rentals, leaving Brent with no community spirit?<br /><br />This is probably yet another Off Shore Investment which will deny yet more taxation from our Government making us poorer. Britain is becoming a body onto which leeches attach themseleves too more all the time.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-51705792043387545442022-11-16T11:10:33.940+00:002022-11-16T11:10:33.940+00:00Is this latest Tower Blocks development helping to...Is this latest Tower Blocks development helping to provide homes for Brent residents in need?<br />Where in the report does it say that all this extra student accommodation is needed for students attending Brent Universities and Colleges? OR is it simply replacement blocks for all the student accommodation being lost in Central London so that developers can build luxury homes that most people could not afford? Should not the Labour Mayor of London and Brent Labour Councillors tell us the truth.
