Water main repairs on High Road, Willesden
Thames Water is carrying out essential repairs to an old water main on High Road, Willesden. To keep traffic flowing, temporary traffic lights and parking suspensions are in place. Unfortunately, some motorists are ignoring these restrictions, causing significant congestion. Please do not park in the suspended bays.

The works are expected to last until the first week in October. If possible, please avoid the area during this period. Thames Water apologises for any inconvenience.

Changes to bin collections due to hot weather
To help our collection crews during this week's hot weather, bin collections will begin an hour earlier than usual. For all collections from Tuesday 12 - Thursday 14 August, please make sure you put your bins, sacks and containers out by 6:00am to avoid missed collections. Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Moving Brent Forward Together

We are Brent—a borough full of pride, culture, and diversity.

Shaped by the voices of a thousand local people, our shared plan sets the course for your council in the years ahead, outlining the journey we must take together. Our five key priorities are:

Prosperity and Stability in Brent
A Cleaner, Greener Future
The Best Start in Life
A Healthier Brent

Each priority area has set outcomes we will work towards. It builds on our achievements so far with renewed focus and actions. It tackles cross-cutting issues such as homelessness and health inequalities.

Our commitment to EDI

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2024-2028 is our commitment to tackling inequalities and empowering individuals and families to reach their full potential. At the heart of our vision, it drives Brent forward, ensuring no one is left behind.

Through focus groups, workshops and staff events, we listened to the voices of those who live and work in Brent. Their insights have shaped our priorities and defined our three key EDI objectives:

Inclusion: Accessibility and Cohesion
Narrowing the Gap: Tackling Inequalities
Establishing an Inclusive Workforce

Anti-racism action plan

An important component of our EDI ambitions is our commitment to tackle racial injustice. To help realise this we are striving to become an anti-racist organisation and have developed an accompanying Corporate Anti- Racism Action Plan that describes the organisation’s anti-racism journey. With a steadfast commitment to inclusion and equity, we recognise our central role in the fight against racism in all its forms and ensuring that every individual feels safe, respected, and valued. The action plan complements our focus on inclusion, particular in relation to our workforce.
