Decision details

Councillor Duschinsky - Feasibility Study on Millway, Mill Hill

 

The Chairman explained that options for improving the safety and decreasing the speeds of vehicles on Millway, Mill Hill were required. Particularly the junction with the Broadway needed to be investigated.

 

Officers explained that there were already loading restrictions on the left-hand side of the road, but a sign was currently missing. Once the sign had been reinstated, enforcement could recommence. Notices would have to be sent out 2 weeks in advance, to notify residents that enforcement action would recommence. Officers suggested the area be monitored for around 2 months, after the reinstallation of the sign, to see if this solved the issues. An update would be provided at the March 19^th Hendon Area Committee meeting.

 

Officers recommended a feasibility study to look at appropriate measures for the rest of the road at a cost of £5,000.

 

The Committee unanimously voted to approve £5,000 CIL funding for a feasibility study to be carried out on the Millway.

 

RESOLVED that £5,000 CIL funding be assigned for a feasibility study on the Millway, Mill Hill. 

 

Councillor Nagus Narenthira – Feasibility study Colindale Avenue

 

Councillor Narenthira explained that Colindale Avenue between A5 and Charcot Road is congested due to parking on either side of the road after the single line enforcement times, as well as obstructing buses being able to pass through. She said that problems of traffic congestion and pedestrian safety were also evident at the junction of Cecil Avenue and Colindale Avenue. Many residents had contacted ward Councillors about these issues. She asked that a feasibility study be conducted to identify measures to alleviate the problems.

 

Offices informed the Committee that the Colindale CPZ would soon be implemented in the area and that this could alleviate some of the problems. Officers advised that feedback from the statutory consultation suggested double yellow lines would be appropriate. A meeting with all affected ward Councillors, to discuss options would be scheduled and a Delegated Powers Report would outline the recommendations. Recommendations to change some of the business bays on Cecil Road to dual bay use could also be investigated and consulted on. Officers said that no funding was required from the Hendon Area Committee CIL allocation, as it could be funded through the existing section 106 funding if agreed.

 

Following discussion, the Committee unanimously agreed no funding would be allocated at this meeting to this item, as these issues would be taken into consideration and resolved as part of the Colindale CPZ work.

 

RESOLVED that no further action was required at this time

 

Councillor John Hart – Review of parking on the Ridgeway, NW7

 

Councillor Hart explained that a review of the obstructive parking on the Ridgeway from the area around the Elern Meade Centre up to the entrance to Belmont Farm, NW7 was required.

 

Officers informed the Committee that a site visit had taken place and that the issues surrounding obstructive parking had been identified. Officers felt that in addition to the parking, safety around the junction also needed reviewing. Rather than hold up the installation of yellow lines on the Ridgeway, Officers suggested the two pieces of work be separated and funding allocated individually.

 

Offices recommended £5,000 be allocated for a feasibility study to be carried out to look at safety measures at the junction.

 

Officers recommended the yellow lines on the Ridgeway be batched with the request for yellow lines made by other members’ items outlined on the agenda and these all be voted as one item.

 

Following discussion, the Committee voted on the recommendation to approve £5,000 of CIL funding for a feasibility study to investigate safety measures at the junction.

 

The Committee unanimously voted to approve £5,000 CIL funding for a feasibility study to be carried out on the junction.

 

The yellow lines on the Ridgeway would be discussed and voted on further on in the agenda.

 

RESOLVED that £5,000 CIL funding be assigned for a feasibility study on the junction, on the Ridgeway.

 

Councillor Golnar Bokaei – Table Tennis Mill Hill Park

 

Councillor Bokaei requested £5,000 be allocated for the installation of an all-weather table tennis table in Mill Hill Park. She explained that there was currently a gap in activities available for young people at the park and having worked closely with the friends of Mill Hill Park Committee, they had identified table tennis as an appropriate addition to the park.

 

Officers recommended £5,000 be allocated for this request, quotes from the contractor were provided.

 

Following discussion, the Committee unanimously voted to approve £5,000 of CIL funding for an all-weather table tennis table in Mill Hill Park.

 

RESOLVED that £5,000 CIL funding be allocated for an all-weather table tennis for Mill Hill Park. 

 

Councillor Elliott Simberg – Yellow lines at Aldridge Avenue

 

Councillor Simberg explained that there were currently yellow lines at the top of Aldridge Avenue, but these did not extend far enough into the road resulting in a bottle neck and poor access for emergency vehicles and refuse trucks. He requested the double yellow lines be extended past the opening onto the rear of the shops at Glengall Parade.

 

Officers recommended that the request for funding for yellow lines at Aldridge Avenue be batched with the request for yellow lines made by other members items, outlined on the agenda and these all be voted as one item.

 

The Committee agreed the yellow lines on Aldridge Avenue would be discussed and voted on further on in the agenda.

 

Councillor Sara Conway – Access issues on Goldbeaters Grove, HA8

 

Councillor Conway suggested a meeting be held with officers and all ward members affected by the CPZ to discuss any issues. Officers agreed and explained that depending on the situation, funding outside of the Hendon Area Committee could potentially be used.

 

Councillor Conway asked that the access issues on Goldbeaters Grove be investigated as currently parked cars were blocking access to refuse trucks and emergency vehicles. Offices said they could look into the extent of measures required on this road as any introduction of yellow lines would result in a reduction of resident parking, so the proposal would need to go out for consultation. Officers recommended the request for funding for yellow lines at Goldbeaters Grove be batched with the request for yellow lines made by other members items, outlined earlier in the agenda.

 

Officers recommended an allocation of £6,000 of CIL funding for yellow lines on The Ridgeway, Aldridge Avenue and Goldbeaters Grove.

 

Following discussion, the Committee unanimously voted to approve £6,000 of CIL funding for implementation of yellow lines on The Ridgeway, Aldridge Avenue and Goldbeaters Grove.

 

RESOLVED that £6,000 CIL funding for implementation of yellow lines on The Ridgeway, Aldridge Avenue and Goldbeaters Grove.

 

Councillor Sarah Wardle – Improvements to traffic flow at bottom of Edgwarebury Lane.

 

Councillor Wardle informed the Committee that after discussions with officers it had been agreed that a site meeting would be held to discuss the possible options available. Councillor Wardle would bring the members item back to the March Hendon Area Committee meeting, outlining the proposals and associated costs.

 

RESOLVED the Committee agreed to defer the item to the next meeting in March to allow a site visit to outline options and associated costs.

 

The Committee approved a total spend of £21,000 of CIL funding for this meeting.
