It is very sad the Clean Air for Brent, a much needed organisation has decided it cannot continue. There is a final zoom meeting on February 21st.
This is their statement:
Last year we attempted to find 'new blood' to resurrect Clean Air for Brent and enable it to rise out of the doldrums. We held an enthusiastic zoom meeting and a few interested parties volunteered to take on steering roles. However we have been unable to find enough people with enough time to give to take CAfB forward in a meaningful way and, most importantly, we do not have a new chair to inject CAfB with the energy it needs. We thank those who did offer their support. Recently our chair Mark Falcon stepped down and we thank him for all his hard work and dedication in the post. Janey McAllester will act as Interim Chair while we resolve the group's future.It was also suggested that CAfB might merge with another group but as there is not enough appetite in the current steering group to make this happen, we cannot pass on our database and have only a small amount of funds there does not seem to be a way forward in that direction.Therefore the remaining steering group members feel that there is no alternative but to close CAfB and allocate the small amount of its funds remaining to another local organisation who is fighting the fight, and encourage our membership to join with them. It is suggested that this be Brent Friends of the Earth. We will therefore hold a final zoom meeting to go through the formalities on 21st February at 8pm. Should you wish to join this is the link:Thank you for all your support over the years and apologies that we have not been able to continue.Best wishes,Clean Air for Brent Steering Committee
