Ward Working

Ward Working works with local councillors, in their role as community leaders, to find out what concerns you have about your area and how you would like it to be improved.

 

How we tackle your concerns

 

Ward Working operates in every ward in Brent. Every ward has a budget of £20,000 to tackle the top issues of concern. The money is for one-off capital projects. We aim to find new or innovative ways of tackling issues to provide lasting solutions. The money isn't used to substitute for things that should be done anyway.

Not all problems require a financial solution, which is why we take a joined-up approach with our partners to tackle issues. Some issues are complex and may require a longer-term strategic approach. Ward Working addresses issues concerning the wider community. If you have an individual concern about housing allocation or a planning/licensing application, contact the relevant department, one stop service or your local councillors.

 

How projects are funded

 

Projects are prioritised by your local councillors. Funds are released in three tranches during the year. The number of projects councillors support and amount allocated will depend on a range of factors such as what issues residents consider to be the most important and which projects will have the widest community impact and offer good value for money.
