<p>2. Brent have a Borough Plan Consultation which could do with a dose of Psychologists against Austerity!</p>

Over the past six years we have all faced a squeeze on our incomes – with increasing demands and costs. Public services are no exception – cuts are hitting local authorities, local health services and community organisations.<br/><br/> Despite the difficult financial position, we have big ambitions for Brent – we want to make sure that all residents have the opportunity to use their full potential, to enjoy the best that Brent has to offer and to contribute actively to our community. So we want to work with you to find the best way of building for the future and providing great services when we have less money and greater demands. We want to know what you think is most important for Brent, bearing in mind that prioritising means we will have to do less in some areas – or stop doing some things altogether. We are also looking for your ideas on how we can deliver services more innovatively, working with others to protect services – this includes working with you.</p>
