As we sat and chatted with the managers of the café we began to grasp a better understanding of the changing sense of belonging that the artists, apartment tenants and business owners are beginning to develop.
we were greeted at the Tower Theatre on North Road with a welcome drink which gave the opportunity to meet the other people attending this event. As always, the Nepalese women were dressed in the most beautiful saris.

A large international study has revealed several genetic variants which are linked to people with asthma. In all, more than 500,000 tests were performed on the genes of 10,000 children and adults with the condition, and 16,000 non-asthmatics. The Imperial College-led research, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, could point to new targets for drugs. Experts said gene testing could not predict who would get the condition.
Serious concerns over safety of residents have led to the Liberal Democrats voting against the plan for this year's "Lighting Up Brentwood" event as the road will not be closed during the event. Tory plans to move the event to Thursday evening from a Saturday have also contributed to this decision.
