Local Liberal Democrat Sarah Teather MP has received complaints from Brent's Hindu community following the news that Brent Council have unexpectedly doubled the cost of hiring the Paul Daisley Hall in Brent Town Hall. The unexpected rise announced just five days before the festivities has led to the event being cancelled.
The Brent East MP has today written to Brent Council's Chief Executive, Gareth Daniel to demand an explanation.
Local Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather said:
"This seems an appalling piece of timing from the council. Their decision to hike up the hire prices of the Town Hall has now led to an important cultural event being cancelled.
"The Council must accept that they are dealing with community organizations who cannot afford these fees and not big corporate businesses.
"I hope the Council will consider the cultural impact its decision has had and reconsider its price-structuring for community groups."
