Moving forward

2022 has seen some new developments. To commemorate 20 years since KOVE was founded we have published a booklet, KOVE@20, which charts the history of the group and its campaigns via community film-making. Find out more about KOVE's short films here. To obtain a print copy of KOVE@20, please email info@kove.org.uk or to download click here or on the icon.

KOVE benches on Kilburn High Road

KOVE has received assurances from Brent's environment team that our long-delayed new community benches on Kilburn High Road should be installed in the near future, one near Coventry Close and the other near Sainsburys Local. This is a part of the Kilburn High Road improvement scheme. The focus will be on pedestrian safety and widening pavements. We will let you know about developments when we can.
