Donnington Road

Question No: 4107 / 2010

Thank you for your response to question 3671 / 2010. I understand that the borough of Brent is ultimately responsible for implementing the road safety measures on this road although they cannot do this until TfL allocate the funding to them. In light of the tragic death of a 15 year old Queen’s Park Community School student last week on Donnington Road can you ensure that TfL guarantee’s the funding for the road safety measures there as soon as possible?

Answer from the Mayor

As part of their Annual Spending Submission for 2011/12, the London Borough of Brent included a proposal for a road safety scheme along Donnington Road/ Peters Avenue and Holland Road area. TfL has assessed the Annual Spending Submission and has written to the Borough to approve this proposal and other specific projects within their submission. The scheme is expected to cost £240,000, however, the borough has profiled only £30,000 spend in 2011/12 for the project planning and development phase. The implementation phase is expected in 2012/13.
