Title

TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES – DEVONSHIRE ROAD, NW7  (HOLDERS HILL ROAD ROUNDABOUT TO ABERDARE GARDENS)

Raised by (Councillor)

Cllr Sury Khatri

Ward

Mill Hill Ward

Member Request

As a Ward Councillor and a resident of Devonshire Road (40 years+) and on behalf of other residents who have made and continue to make representations to me, I have been trying for the last 6 – 7 years to introduce Traffic Calming measures because of the escalating dangerous speed of Traffic on Devonshire Road.  I was previously partially successful in the Committee agreeing for a stretch of road beyond Aberdare Gardens to Pursley Road junction and at Committee I did then argue for the stretch from Holders Hill Road roundabout to Aberdare Gardens. Unfortunately my plea was unsuccessful.

 

The recent incident illustrates and necessitates this issue to be urgently reconsidered again.

 

To illustrate the issue a massive accident that took place on Devonshire Road close to the junction with Lee Road / Oakhampton Road on Sunday 5 November about 9.00 am.  The attached photos hopefully are self explanatory.

 

About a week or so ago before this accident, the Police carried out an unannounced speed / traffic operation on Devonshire Road.

 

Not too long ago another massive accident occurred on Devonshire Road at the junction of the Holders Hill Roundabout and about a year ago another incident opposite my house.

In these incidents Police were involved. 

 

However there are other accidents which have been occurring (primarily due to the high speed) and as matters are settled between the parties, thus do not involve police actions and hence these statistics are not recorded.

 

Funding Required (£)

 

£25,000

 

RESOLVED that a feasibility study, costing up to £2,000, be agreed, with a report back to a future meeting of this Committee.

Title

Gaskarth Road One-Way System Study

Raised by (Councillor)

Cllr Ammar Naqvi

Ward

Burnt Oak

Member Request

That a feasibility study be undertaken into making Gaskarth Road part of a one way system linked with Silkstream Road, terminating at the junction of Playfield Road. This would help relieve aggressive parking on Gaskarth Road, outside Barnfield Primary School, help with the flow of traffic at school opening and closing time, reduce the danger of a child being struck by a car mounting the pavement and reduce the deterioration of the pavements as well (thereby saving the Council the cost of repairing the pavements regularly).

Funding Required (£)

£3000 - £5000 (as per Officers’ guidance).

RESOLVED that a feasibility study, costing up to £3,000, be agreed, with a report back to a future meeting of this Committee.

Title

Raised by (Councillor)

Maureen Braun

Ward
