Small businesses are the lifeblood of our high streets reflecting the diverse communities that help make Brent such a wonderful place to live, work and visit.

S S BRENTWE DELIVERED ... £4.8million www.brent.gov.uk/shoplocal

Since the pandemic forced the temporary closure of our high streets and put lots of restrictions on local traders, the council has invested more than £9.4million to support local businesses and town centres to get back on their feet and thrive again.

Councillor Shama Tatler, Cabinet Member for Planning, Regeneration and Growth, said: ‘‘Support from the council includes helping businesses with the skills and tools they need to unlock new opportunities in the digital age, as well as ways to go green and tackle high energy costs.

High streets across the borough have been revitalised with worn pavements upgraded, lighting improved, more trees planted, and new public artwork rolled out in celebration of local communities’’.

Check out your local high street and show our brilliant businesses some love.
