| Mixed pavement this morning in Kings Drive, Wembley |
The Council is currently running a PR campaign on 'Love where you live' to inspire more pride in the borough. Tarmac pavements change the look of streets substantially but represent a small reduction in costs for a cash-strapped council. Whether they represent long-term 'best value' or inspire more pride is debatable.
There will be some patchwork tarmac repairs but in other areas entire stretches of pavement wil be replaced by tarmac:

That's a laugh. Or not. My road hasn't had new pavements in all the time I've lived here. And they're not paving stones, it's broken concrete.
I suspect tarmac won't inspire any kind of "pride".
This is the gloss on the tarmac proposal from Cllr Southwood issued in the Brent Council Newsletter:
The plan will see slabs being replaced with tarmac when doing full pavement renewals in some places, which will help to make pavements more resilient and durable, and fit for purpose for the demands of today. The use of tarmac will also help to make limited resources stretch further, meaning more pavements can be repaired, making the borough a safer, more accessible place to live.
Paving stone is necessary.
