Your borough; your say

Join us at your next Brent Connects meeting on Thursday 22 July, to hear about how local residents are at the heart of allocating a £500k fund to reduce carbon emissions in Brent.

Later this year, Brent residents will be invited to take part in a massive ‘Decision Day’ event, to vote for their top carbon reducing projects. This is part of a bold new way of spending council budgets called the Participatory Budgeting programme.

Come along to Brent Connects, to hear more from:

• Tom Welsh, Climate Emergency Strategy Manager, Brent Council
• Catherine Arotsky, Senior Project Manager, Brent Council – Carbon Offset Fund
• Renata and Gregory, Participatory Budget Planning Group member

During the meeting you'll also be invited to join a breakout room where you can discuss local topics in more detail with others in your community. There will also be a soapbox slot where you can raise any issues or promote activities in your local area.

The meeting will be held virtually via Zoom, but do not worry if you’ve never used Zoom before as we’ll be sending detailed instructions to all attendees beforehand.
