		Brent Council in North West London is faced with cuts of £17.4 million in its 1999-2000 budget if the final grant allocation from central government, to be announced on February 4, is the same as the provisional figure.

		The rule for the Brent Spar was that every person who attended the dialogue workshops needed to have a “constituency” which they represtented, and must report back to then, and feed back any constituency thoughts into the dialogue process.
		The Environment Council managed the whole process and had many “planning meetings” with Shell to make sure everyone was up to date, and that the material going out was in English (not engineering speak) etc.
		This was a highly political issue at the time, and The Environment Council co-ordinator and facilitator acted as “honest brokers” at times with parties who had difficulty contributing to, understanding and/or trusting the process.
