This report summarises the outcome of the public consultation of the Harrow Road/District Road Junction Local Safety Scheme. The scheme aims to improve crossing facilities for pedestrians on District Road, enhance the public realm on the edge of Barnham Park and reduce clutte on the footways. This is in accordance with objectives in the Brent Borough Plan 2019-2022 and the Mayor's Transport Strategy 2018.
The Head of Highways and Infrastructure is recommended to progress with implementation of the scheme with minor amendments.

Why are we proposing this change? |
Each year we identify roads and locations in Brent with the highest number of road traffic collisions and look at introducing road safety measures to help reduce the number of accidents.
|
Over the last three years there have been sixteen accidents at the junction of Harrow Road and District Road (involving twenty casualties). Out of these, one has involved a serious injury and nineteen have involved slight injuries. Two collisions involved pedestrians, four involved motorcycles and ten were drivers or passengers traveling by car. We are therefore proposing to introduce measures to improve crossing facilities for pedestrians on District Road and create a safer environment to allow for more walking as opposed to relying on cars. The implementation of the local safety scheme supports National and Local Road casualty reduction targets. |
