Harlesden Traffic (1)
Question No: 2892 /
2011
Navin Shah
Thank you for your reply
to 2706 and for your efforts in expediting the work of reinforcing the [Scrubs Lane] bridge.
Could you instruct TfL to undertake a traffic survey for this area, so we can get
a better picture of the volume of traffic, and the times of day it travels
through Harlesden Town Centre?
Written response from
the Mayor
TfL and
the London Borough of Brent are currently working in partnership to develop and
deliver the Harlesden Town Centre Major Scheme. This £4.2m scheme will
significantly improve the public realm, pedestrian and cyclist facilities and
address safety and traffic concerns for those living and working in Harlesden.
Traffic models have been developed, to inform the scheme design, that include
extensive traffic survey data for the local area. This information is held by LB
Brent and I have asked TfL to let you know the contact details for the relevant
Brent officer.

When the bridge on Scrubs
Lane is eventually reinforced, would TfL be able to make it a mandatory route
for HGVs? Could a ban on HGVs in Harlesden Town Centre be
imposed?
Written response from
the Mayor
Written
answer received on 24 October 2011:
With
regard to Scrubs Lane and an HGV ban in Harlesden Town Centre, the London
Boroughs of Hammersmith & Fulham and Brent are the local highway authorities
respectively. In my answer to 2892/2011, I have advised that TfL and Brent are
currently working in partnership to develop and deliver the Harlesden Town
Centre Major Scheme, a key element of which is tackling the current dominance of
traffic and reducing congestion to support economic, environmental and social
improvements. It would be for Brent to consider whether to ban HGVs from the
town centre, although it is important to recognise that there are, of course,
delivery and servicing needs for businesses and shops in the town centre.
