This is not just a one-off application.

Due to some pressure, Leader of the Council Steve Curran who is also councillor for Syon ward where Brent Lea is situation has agreed to an open meeting this evening, at 6.30 for 7.00pm. St Paul’s Church, Brentford. The meeting will be chaired by our President Suzie Betlem. Councillors and relevant Council Officers will be present.
