  • Rush hour traffic attitude survey results discussed at October 2025 meeting

    At its October Monthly Meeting, QPARA considered the results of the 2-8 October survey of attitudes to traffic measures, which drew a strong 42% response rate from our 539 full and associate members. The findings show members remain divided over the Experimental Traffic Order (ETO), which restricts through traffic on the streets between Kingswood Avenue and Salusbury Road, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 9:00 am: 45% wanted it stopped, 35% supported making it permanent, and 20% not sure for specified/unspecified reasons. The Council’s Healthy Neighbourhoods website says that a final decision will be taken after 8th November 2025

    Recognising the strength of feeling on the issue and current data deficiencies, QPARA agreed to let the results speak for themselves and to share them with Brent Council, urging the Council to examine them carefully and to engage further with residents and neighbouring associations to find a more broadly acceptable solution.

  • Summerfield Avenue, Dudley Road Traffic Management Changes

    Update

    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.
