An apology for absence was received from Councillor Mili Patel (Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance, Resources & Reform).

In welcoming everyone to the meeting Councillor Muhammed Butt (as Leader) began by taking the opportunity to highlight the range of work being undertaken across the Council to support local communities and businesses in an effort to extend opportunities.  As an example, specific reference was made to the upcoming Wembley Jobs Fair as well as the recent launch of the Ealing Road & Alperton Creative Enterprise Zone and the variety of local community events being hosted across the borough.  In recognising the extent of work required to deliver such a diverse and responsive range of events Cabinet thanked all officers involved for their hard work and efforts.
