Groups report back on donations from QPARA
Mike Cantor reported back to the April monthly meeting on how the donations made by QPARA in 2017 had been spent. In March 2017 we agreed donations of £1,000 to each of the following groups with a connection to the Queen’s Park area:
Brent Action for Refugees to fund tea/social evenings for Syrian refugees in Brent
Brent Centre for Young People to give Adolescent Exploratory Therapy to two young people who live in the Queen’s Park area
Laurence’s Larder to provide food, clothing, washing and drying facilities to refugee asylum seekers in Brent
Our Global School to cover the cost of transporting volunteer school students from Salusbury School and Queen’s Park Community School to a township school in Kayamandi, South Africa
The Promise Foundation to help fund a monthly Skills Club, based in the Queen’s Park Community School to help tackle educational disadvantage in Brent
Salusbury World to help with the funding of a Winter Party for refugee children and to help fund excursions for refugee women and children
Shakespeare in the Squares to help with the costs of a production of Romeo and Juliet in Queen’s Park on 24th June.
Queen’s Park station ticket office closure
You may have seen our previous post about the ticket office at Queen’s Park station where we reported, following the installation of new ticket machines, that TFL would monitor the use of the ticket office and then decide on its future. It perhaps comes as no surprise that the office was closed last month.

More trees for Queen’s Park streets this Autumn
Street trees are an important local amenity, providing clean air, shade, a home for wildlife. Well-maintained trees make our streets attractive, helping to enhance community pride and to reduce anti-social behaviour, but they don’t last for ever and there are currently some streets in the Queen’s Park area with large gaps where trees have been removed. QPARA members have voted to donate £4,000 to Brent Council to replace many of them, close to their original locations. We have also been granted £4,000 for the project from the neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). This will enable us to fund a total of 32 street trees around our conservation area and Brent Council’s contractors will start planting them in October.
In addition to the QPARA donation and CIL money, some residents are clubbing together to pay for trees on their streets. Each tree has a one-off cost of £250; if you would like to discuss having a tree planted in your road at the same time as the QPARA street trees project is being delivered, please email hussain@khan.cc, the QPARA street tree lead.
QPARA Newsletter distributed
All households in the QPARA area should have received a copy of the April Newsletter through their letterbox.
If you haven’t received one, you can view or download it from our Newsletter Archive.
