Recycling is easy, wherever you live Wherever you live in Brent you have access to recycling.

Simply drop the recycling into the correct recycling bin when you're in the area. What could be easier? Please do not put any other materials or refuse into these recycling bins as it costs time and money to remove contamination or send to landfill.

Brent celebrates St Patrick’s Day Brent St Patrick’s Day returns to the borough on Thursday 17 March, featuring a parade and Irish entertainment. Words SHARON DONOVAN March 17 marks the date when Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland died in 451 AD. Born in Wales in 385 AD Saint Patrick is noted for bringing Catholicism to Ireland and is perhaps most famous for banishing snakes from Ireland. The day has evolved over the years and for many it’s now a celebration of Irish culture. People often mark the occasion by wearing an item of green clothing, sporting shamrocks, and enjoying Irish entertainment. It is arguably one of the most celebrated occasions across the world, despite the Republic of Ireland’s relatively small population of 4.5 million people. However, over 80m people worldwide are reported to be Irish descendants, with the majority residing in America. This year Brent Council will be the only borough to host celebrations on the actual day, March 17, rather than the closest weekend. A parade will leave Willesden Green Underground Station at 4pm featuring pipers, colourful floats and costumed dancers. It will end at Willesden Green Library Centre where there will be a feast of Irish entertainment including folk music, Irish dancing and lots of activities for children, as well as a St Patrick’s Day market selling Irish food and gifts. New to the line up this year will be country singer Nathan Carter who won ‘Best Male Newcomer’ in the Irish World Awards 2008 and folk singer Fil Campbell. Photographer Louise Jefferson will also be on hand to present her book ‘Wall and Barriers – symbol of separation’. The book, featuring a selection of startling images from the streets of Belfast, is married with insights and reflections from citizens, police, politicians and charities. The event is open to all sections of the community. To find out more and to download a programme visit www.brent.gov.uk/ stpatricks or call 020 8937 1108. MARCH 2011 THE BRENT MAGAZINE 11
