A less than scintillating meeting of Brent's full Council last night which impressed me principally by the strangeness of the Tory and Lib Dem parties behaviour.
HB Patel asked me a question berating Brent Council for its limited use of planning enforcement, and then asked a follow up question that was more or less the same. This struck me as odd given that Brent Council is one of the most aggressive planning enforcement authorities in the UK. Literally, we are generally among the top five, usually being beaten by only Westminster and Birmingham.
Then the Tories also abstained on voting approval for the core strategy of the Local Development Framework. This despite the fact that it has been developed over the past five years with the explicit backing of Brent Conservative councillors during that period.
Then we had the Liberal Democrats voting against the enforcement of traffic regulations, a policy originally passed by their own administration way back in March 2009. Just as odd.
