Brent Conservatives have pledged to freeze Council Tax for all residents for the next four years thanks to a transformation programme that will deliver £50m worth of savings over four years. Conservatives on the Council have promised to help hard-working residents across the borough.
Conservative Candidate Richard Grossman said, “This is excellent news for Brondesbury residents. In these financially difficult times this will mean that every resident will have more of their hard-earned money in their pocket.”
Your Conservative campaigners Richard Grossman, Faezeh Faiz and Richard Holloway will continue to fight to ensure that all of Brondesbury Park’s residents get value for money from Brent Council.
Council Tax in Brent has risen by 149 per cent in the last decade, the eighth highest rise in the country. It’s too high and your local Conservatives have pledged to freeze it to help families across Brent. It’s the poor who are least able to afford these high rises.

So more cuts and less investment in Brent. Great stuff, thanks guys. Why not increase transport costs and cancel cycle lane improvements while you're at it? Oh sorry, Boris has done that already.
The idea that you can only save money by making cuts and not investing is simply wrong. Ask anyone that has run a business. A good retailer must protect their margin while giving a good service to the customer and produce a profit. The profit can then be reinvested.
The same thing applies to the Council. A properly run Council can find processes that are duplicated, inefficient practices and schemes that are not providing good value for money. Savings can be made and passed on to residents.
Boris' transport costs were a result of years of fares that were unsustainable. He is trying to cope with the colossal costs of the failure of Metronet and Gordon Brown's disastrous PPP. It's not an excuse. It's the truth.
