I would like to wish all our readers a happy New Year from everybody at The Brent Magazine. To those waking up from their new year slumber there is a lot to discover in Brent. One is Wembley’s renewal, as the developer behind the Wembley Central project explains. This month many will be marking Brent Holocaust Memorial Day. However, this year there is the chance to see a documentary about survivors of the Holocaust made by young film-makers. On the subject of remembrance there is a Secret History about a memorial to remember civilians killed in Willesden during the Second World War. On a lighter note, Brent People profiles a performer from the borough who could help put your new year in the swing.
