Street cleaning after the carnival
Brent street-care did a steam clean the area around the carnival, after we raised the issue with them. The main litter clean up overnight will continue as it always does, but streetcare are cleaning the section of Harrow Road, and the side streets off of it which are most affected by the heavy traffic & mess left behind after the carnival has finished.
Wakeman Road Project
Brent Council have agreed to alter the junction of Wakeman Road/Harrow Road to discourage articulated lorries from entering the Triangle. There will be a full consultation with local residents about the proposed plans. For Further Details see the Wakeman Road page.
Toilets for Carnival 08
Brent Council agreed to provide 9 toilets during the carnival. The Toilets were placed at 3 locations on the edge of Harrow Road, which gets a large amount of foot traffic to and from the station on both the carnival days.
Speed Camera Harrow Road
After a Long Campaign, TFL have agreed for a speed camera for Harrow Road. They have in fact agreed for 2, 1 on each carriageway. However the Installation of the Westbound camera is still under some political debate. We will be following this closely.
The Eastbound Camera is now installed.
Graffiti Removal
We are always looking to get this cleared up as quickly as possible, and have had several large amounts of Graffiti removed from within the Triangle
Carnival Planing 2007
The Police posted several Motorcycle patrol officers along the cemetery wall during the evening of both days of the carnival. This was in response to local concerns that the cemetery is currently unsecured whilst the wall is down and could be a danger to carnival goers, especially if any more of the wall came down!
Cleaning
We have liaised with Dennis Lewis at Brent Streetcare and sought to improve the local street cleaning. These have improved a great deal in the last 12 months, and we now have a new cleaning contractor and "Dual Collections" so household refuse & recycling are now collected on the same day.
Planning
Various members of the association have attended many planning meetings over the last 12 months. This is something we need to keep a close eye on, and will continue to do so
There is a lot of building going on within the area, and left unchecked we will end up with huge ugly buildings and no character for what is after all a conservation area.
