Local Safety campaign - urgent!

Local residents are campaigning to make the road crossing between Willesden Lane and Cavendish Road/The Avenue more safe for pedestrians.

Currently there are traffic lights there, but no pedestrian crossing. 

It would be great for our school families to add to this campaign, as we use this junction when we go to church at Christ Church.

Please click on this link to add your comments to this important local campaign. You can ask for the crossing to be made more safe for pedestrians in order to make it more safe.

There is also a box at the end of the very short survey where you can add other comments. It would be very helpful to our school if you also add "Reduce the speed limit going south on Willesden Lane from here to 20mph."

Many thanks for your support.
