I don't know whether Mildred Phillips would have got round to advertising the Independent Person vacancies 'next week' without a little reminder from me, via Brent's Chief Executive!If you are interested in helping Brent Council maintain (or perhaps that should be 'improve') its standards look out for the advertisements.
