Brent Council workers and contractors are racing to complete the final stages of traffic ‘calming’ on Salusbury Road by the end of March. Speed platforms and lighted 20mph speed signs are being installed.
A major 20mph zone was introduced in 2013 between Salusbury and Chamberlayne roads. QPARA had pressed for this over the years and also for Salusbury Road itself to be included in the scheme. A 20mph zone is now in place on Chamberlayne Road too.

QPARA objects to planning application for car boot sale
There has been a retrospective planning application for permission to hold a car boot sale on Saturdays in the Salusbury Road School playground. QPARA has registered an objection. There is still just time for individual objections as the decision will not be made until 20 March. There is a link our objection on the Action Groups/Planning page.

QPARA donates £1,000 to Salusbury World
At the March meeting, members voted to use £1,000 of the Association’s funds to support local children.
The Salusbury World charity subsidises the residential trips that Salusbury Primary School organises each year for those families that cannot afford the cost. It also organises a winter party for refugee children, buying presents for all of those children who would not normally receive gifts at that time of year.
QPARA sets aside a sum of money at the AGM each year and invites charities or similar not-for-profit organisations, that have a clear connection to the area, to apply for one-off donations. These are decided on at the March meeting.
