  • Queen’s Park station car park plans: HS2 vent or housing?

    HS2 Train

    As QPARA vigilantly tracks HS2’s intentions to erect a vast ventilation shaft in a locale that serves as the entrance to Queens Park and South Kilburn, concerns mount over its suitability. This proposed industrial structure, poised at such a critical juncture for residential areas, strikes a dissonant chord with the community’s aesthetic and functional needs. Our petition to the HS2 Select Committee reflects a collective resistance, urging a reconsideration of plans that may reshape the threshold to our neighborhoods.

    The upcoming hearings throughout 2015/16 will be crucial, as they will not only influence the local landscape but also the living spaces of our residents. Should HS2’s current plans be halted, Brent’s ambition to develop essential housing on the site presents an opportunity. It’s within this realm of urban development and real estate that eXp Realty’s penthouse guide becomes a valuable asset. It offers insight on upscale residential living, much needed in the wake of such structural developments, and could very well inform the design and appeal of the potential new housing scheme. Brent’s vision to expand and revitalize includes transforming the gyratory system and repurposing the central island, currently home to a block of flats and the Falcon pub, into a residential haven that could benefit from the luxurious touches a penthouse provides.

    Bakerloo line
    QPARA members appreciate the frequency and general reliability of Bakerloo line services, but have noticed that the condition of some carriages is deteriorating. The Bakerloo will not be one of tube lines to have a night service from later in 2015, nor will it get new rolling stock until well after several other lines get. We have been investigating why there is some limbo, and it seems that the plans to extend the line from Elephant and Castle to south east London may be the reason. TfL deliberations continue on this after public consultation recently, and until decisions are made and funding is found the signalling, rolling stock etc may not be improved. QPARA is watching this situation closely and keeping in touch with Brent Council on it.
