Healthcare & Infrastructure
From "Draft Borough Plan Priorities"
Go to the project
I believe the items on the proposed priority list are sensible but some key items are missing.
Healthcare support is deteriorating. It is almost impossible to get an appointment with a GP and the hospital wait is always getting longer. The number of hospitals and GPs are not increasing with housing and population. This needs to be the number one priority in my view.
Secondly, infrastructure. Population is growing and housing is being created, but current infrastructure can not copy. Roads are getting busier and traffic systems are not maturing to best manage traffic. Council is always wasting a lot of money on changing layouts in a detrimental effect, like that near neasden roundabout and near the hill on Kensal Rise train station . These is not smart or worthwhile investments.
Thirdly, we need to get more stringent on benefits. Those who require benefits should be getting it, but the qualification process needs to get smarter and harsher in some areas. Those who require benefits should definitely be getting it, but we need to get better at ensuring that those abusing the system are punished and penalised.
Lastly, I agree with the need for a cleaner Brent. This should be promoted by all who live in Brent. There are also smarter and more methods for cleaning which could be adopted as we evolve with time.
