Brent’s deadline for consultation response or comment if you have not been directly consulted has just been extended to 13th March.
Brent is proposing a 6-month trial scheme to stop west to east traffic flow though the avenues at the southern end of Salusbury Road in the morning rush hour. QPARA considers the plans should be widely known.
The suggestion, arising from a petition from understandably concerned residents, is to ban cars (but not cycles) turning from Kingswood Avenue into Summerfield, Montrose and Hopefield Avenues between the hours of 7 & 10, Monday to Friday.
At the moment only residents of Summerfield, Dudley, Montrose, Hopefield and the adjacent stretches of Kingswood, Salusbury & Harvist are being officially consulted. QPARA has been invited to respond as well.

The work at the Keslake Road Pocket Park is nearly complete.
Two new benches are to go in front of the new planters next to Chamberlayne Road and there will be cycle storage hangars on the south side, next to the bike racks.
Although sadly, Brent had no choice but to remove the two mature planes at the front that were leaning and therefore dangerous, they acted promptly to replace these with young Magnolia trees and there is a third magnolia tree on the south side.
Further information on the scheme, including why it was necessary to remove two trees, can be found here: Keslake Road Pocket Park.
