Harlesden Picture Palace Meeting June 9th at 6pm - information and responses to the plans

 

 

Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum held a meeting on Tuesday 17th May at the Salvation Army. A team of designers from The Picture Palace - a former pub acquired by Brent council to create a community centre - was there to present the project. 

 

They were asked a lot of questions by the audience about the future purpose of the building, its refurbishment, the tendering process as well as the long-term financial sustainability of the Picture Palace. 

 

It became quickly apparent that there was a significant frustration among Harlesden residents present at the event. The general feeling was that the community had not been thoroughly consulted and that there was a risk the Picture Palace would not answer the needs of the local community.

 

That’s why Harlesden Neighbouring Forum decided on the spot to schedule an emergency meeting that will be held at the Picture Palace on June 9th. 

 

 

Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum invites you to a dedicated meeting on the Picture Palace. The meeting will be held on Thursday, 9th June 2022 at 6.00 pm.

 

Location: The Picture Palace 26 Manor Park Rd, London NW10 4JJ

The event is open to members and residents. If you are not a member yet, please register at

BREAKING: Harlesden residents vote to approve Harlesden Area Plan

Brent Council Press Release May 31st:

Harlesden residents will now have influence over developments in their local area after 89.61 per cent of voters chose to support a new neighbourhood plan. 

The Harlesden Neighbourhood plan was created by the Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum. It sets out a vision for the area and contains planning policies and community aspirations to achieve it.

The fifteen-year vision offered by the plan includes developing Harlesden whilst at the same time preserving its distinct heritage and resolving some of the challenges faced by its residents, such as rising living costs and access to employment.

The plan was supported by 1139 voters who came out to vote in a local referendum on 30 May and was rejected by 132 voters. It is now set to become a statutory document and will guide development within the area alongside other planning policies.

Cllr Tatler,Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Highways and Planning, said:

We’re working with residents to create a future fit for all and to get regeneration right. The community members of the Harlesden Neighborhood Forum put a lot of hard work into creating this neighborhood plan and they now have the support of the local residents to make it a legal document.
