Rumours claiming Brent was not protected by CCTV during the council’s office move from Brent House to Brent Civic Centre in Wembley have been quashed.

A Brent Council spokesman said: “CCTV was moved from Brent House to the Civic Centre over a phased period from 10 to 14 June.

“This allowed for CCTV to be operational during the move period, providing a slightly restricted service but ensuring that full recording capability was maintained during the process.

“All relevant partners were advised in advance of the restricted service and supported the phased move.”
