MY COUNCIL
Building a better B Councils provide so many services that it is not always easy to keep up to date with what has been happening. Here we take a quick look at some of the council’s major achievements over the past few years
EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED • Brent Start, the adult education college, has supported over 3,000 residents this academic year, with an achievement rate of 93.7%. Read more about the new Brent Start building on page 6. • Only 1.4% of the borough’s 16-17 year-olds are not in education, employment or training (NEET).
A BOROUGH WHERE WE CAN ALL FEEL SAFE, SECURE, HAPPY AND HEALTHY • The ‘Bright Futures’ project has exceeded its target with 43 ex-offenders supported, 10 of whom have been supported into work. • In 2019/20, the New Accommodation for Independent Living (NAIL) programme identified and delivered 8 schemes and 149 units of accommodation, providing high quality accommodation for a range of vulnerable people.
