Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here.

 

The Council has launched an ambitious strategic change programme designed to harness our strengths, focus our ambitions, and develop radical solutions to tackle current and emerging challenges for our local communities. The programme is about changing the way the Council operates, to one which starts with people’s strengths and ambitions and collaborates with partners and communities to enable people in Brent to live their best lives.
