Cllr Muhammed Butt, leader of Brent Council, added: “I would like to thank Roxanne for her excellent service in cabinet.

“She has been a strong advocate for fairness and equality in Brent, and has led on a number of landmark policies on the council.

“I am confident that Roxanne will continue to do an excellent job representing the residents of Welsh Harp and supporting the work of Brent Council in the future.”

In October Cllr Michael Pavey resigned from the cabinet citing ‘differences’ with Cllr Butt.

His position as the lead member for stronger communities has been taken over by Tom Miller.
