Brent Council Cabinet gathers for its most important decision later today, on the Council's annual budget. At the back of the papers is a report on the 2018/19 consultation, which doesn't really tell you anything. Only 175 people have responded to the consultation. I daresay that, as in previous years, many of those people did not know the kind of constraints Councils operate under.
That is unsurprising. People elect a Council to get it to do that job for them. The councillors have put themselves forward for that role. They should make the decisions openly and accountably. At the moment too many Brent councillors give me the impression that they don't control the Council, or aspire to.
